I know some of you are into Sun of The Sleepless, so here's some really cool news:

SUN OF THE SLEEPLESS vs NACHTMAHR split CD (Wolf 011)
A mix of modern black metal avantgarde and grim oldschool sound. SUN OF THE SLEEPLESS presents 6 unreleased and rare tracks (including BURZUM "Dunkelheit" cover and DARKTHRONE "Taunsend Kalte Winter" variation) while NACHTMAHR whips out some ten years old black metal sound from the early nineties.
Available in May 2004
 
I own the single The Vision Bleak released a while back, and it wasn't bad. Really different from anything else he's done though, and not as good. The album will probably be waiting for me at home, since I'm in the "Prophecy Club" thingy, so I'll pick it up when I go back next weekend. I'll let you know.
 
So The End Records has this in stock now by the way. I'm seriously considering getting it, along with the new Prophecy comp. CD.

I've been listening to it Poems to the Wretches Hearts this morning. Just realized that the first track was actually a Keats poem. SOTS go so well with Empyrium and Agalloch....
 
Mine's on the way, apparently. The last two Prophecy samplers were great, so this one should be worth it too. Hopefully it's got some new tracks on it though.
 
If Empyirum or Agalloch did something way extreme, but perhaps maintained that sense of poetry, you'd get SOTS. It is black metal, but it is not icy cold blast beat black metal from the snowy mountains.

Did you get it yet? What's it like?
Nah. Christoph from Prophecy (the ONLY one who ever responds) said he'd sent it out to me, but that was ages ago, so he said he'll send me another one as it was probably lost in the mail. That was a couple of days ago so it should definately be here sometime next week. If it ever gets here, I'll let you know.

It only actually has two new and original SOTS tracks though, plus 2 covers and 2 old songs I've already heard (1 from the EP). Never heard Nachtmahr, but apparently they're pretty good.

As for a full-length, well you would have thought if they were going to, it'd be out by now. The EP is 6 years old! Schwadorf seems to be concentrating on The Vision Bleak, which is a bit of a shame.
