Coldworld - The Stars are Dead Now (Neige + Varg whores get in there!)

[Ellestin]

1. This Empty Life (07:22)
2. Hate (04:00)
3. Cancer (03:38)
4. Suicide (05:15)
5. The Old Ghost In The Well (07:48)

this stuff by some German lone boy (pretty young as it appears) is definitely the best bedroom depressive BM project I've heard in a long time - since Abyssic Hate I'd say. The songs are beautifully crafted with the usual swampish guitar drones providing great bitter melodies, and the subdued synths in the background make for a unique dirge-like atmosphere. Even the ambient parts are far from lame. Fans of raw shoegaze BM à la Alcest who actually wish for something that does not remind them of their wet nurse's breasts should be all over this! I truely hope someone is going to re-release this hidden ruleage beyond the long unavailable 16 or so copies that were first pressed...

I thought the tracks were pretty good, I didn't come to as something amazing. Maybe it's better in the context of the EP?

 

[Ellestin]

so in fact this reco is not utterly worthless you know. Any thoughts?

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Downloaded but haven't listened yet. Thoughts to come.

 

[Tranquillian]

Bland.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Pretty good. Two pressings at 50 copies a piece is a bit silly though.

I tried

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

theres talent, but not experience. As tranquillian said, a bit bland... maybe his next one will be a bit better? i dunno.

 

[Ars Magna]

I've listened to this track several times over the past few days while doing email and such...it's not bad. I kind of agree with what has previously been said. There are definitely things I'd rather listen to, but there are also many that are much, much worse.

I havent heard the first album, but his latest is pretty rad

I enjoy the occasional spin of Melancholie². Don't believe I ever bothered with The Stars are Dead Now however.
