EM Tapes dropped two new companion releases over the US July holidaze festivities - Black Tempel Pyrämid's "Ancient Hymns & Incantations" on clear cassette (50) with gold slip sheet and "Teotihuacán" on limited edition CDR with an eco-sleeve and insert.
Influences on Ancient Hymns would be Oranssi Pazuzu / Electric Orange for a super heavy chrome companion whereas Teotihuacán features more GY!BE, Grails, and Fungal Abyss post apocalyptic / post-rock vibes on DIY CDR.
Basically the result is shimmering Kraut folk sludge stoner doom-ness that does some serious ear fuzz conjurations...Ancient Hymns is by far the loudest EM Tapes release so far.
These albums are about worshiping the Ancient Alien civilizations of the past and tuning into their spirit soul channels via crushing sonic sound waves of the present and future.
The entire saga is a fever dream, cast out with head-nodding stoner-sludge-doom frequencies that slowly gives the ears a reprieve when briefly entering some weird psycho folk desert abyss.
Ultimately the fever returns, concluding with more soul crushing guitar and bass to actualize the encrypted primitive messages delivered from our alien overlords. 1 hour and 47 minutes.
Both are available in the EM Tapes store individually or as a bundle.
