Terra Tenebrosa - V.I.T.R.I.O.L. - Purging The Tunnels [EP]

"Terra Tenebrosa's V.I.T.R.I.O.L. marks the transformation of The Cuckoo, the main figure behind Terra Tenebrosa, from the albums The Tunnels to The Purging.

This makes totally sense, because the record features two lenghty tracks from both album recording sessions. Side A track "Draining The Well" is once again a nearly 18 minutes long, oppressing journey through both, the dark mind of The Cuckoo as well as the listener's. It finally erupts from dark ambiances into a loud, violent final. Side B track "Apokatastasis" has with just about 7 minutes a more straight-forward approach, with guitars well known from Breach. "Apokatastasis" was the first sign ever from The Cuckoo, it gave birth to Terra Tenebrosa and what became The Tunnels and The Purging. Underlying both tracks are those strange, buzzig vocals, which evoke numerous dark stories and events in the listener's mind. Again and again.

V.I.T.R.I.O.L. - Purging The Tunnels is closing a chapter, it puts an end to the conceptual approach of both albums, The Tunnels and The Purging. The new Terra Tenebrosa according to The Cuckoo is faster, more violent and... ugly."

I'm so waiting for this !

Hmm I loved the atmosphere they created and that special sound of drums and guitars, so appealing for my taste

Haha, I'm not sure this is actually the second track btw. It's from a compilation.

But the song title is Apokatastasis

I don't really know how to feel about this . I think faster=more riff based and less droney, which is not a good decision IMO.

Doesn't mean it's the same, Killing Joke released two self-titled albums

Ah, you got me.

EDIT: What the hell, it's the same for me.

I want a tee with this artwork

I looked for this EP for one hour and then realized that it's not out yet.

Agreed. I prefer their style on tracks like "The Mourning Stars" and "Through The Eyes Of The Maninkari" to "The Arc Of Descent" and "Disintegration"

Great record.

Already up on bandcamp. Pretty nice indeed.

Better than purging but still not as high as their debut.

More impressive and enjoyable than their last one.

Kinda in love with that second track. Would rate this a 7 but I've listened to this EP for that track alone dozens of times.
