It's been a while since we hosted a good ol' track premiere 'round these parts. Why not, then, throw hazard to the wind and mark our re-entry into the premiere arena with something profoundly squeamish? This is one for the misanthropes. Let's get into it. in this house of mourning--masterminded by one B.I. formerly of Mountain God--will be self-releasing Enlèvement on August 8. "Altar," the bleak, despondent, and otherwise unsettling single appearing here today, is a lengthy account of a bad person doing bad things involving the titular altar. Genre-wise, in this house of mourning exists in a nebulous sonic place that I can best describe as "the edges of extremity." This track and the album writ large often work at the plodding pace of funeral doom, yet incorporates cacophonous shrieks, death-doom roars, noisy atmosphere, and tinges of blackened miasma. The whole package is wrapped in grimy horror aesthetics. This is some pretty lo-fi stuff, with deliberate care taken to construct an environment that is far from polished or modern. It's malevolent, and seething, and grim, and more than a little uncomfortable. More blathering below, but this is a long track so I recommend firing it up earlier rather than later. Give Altar a listen via the conveniently located embed. As always, we'll meet you on the other side.

On the very occasional Friday, a wagon arrives at the Sleeping Village’s crumbling gates, stuffed to the brim with sustenance.

This is what we’ll be--and have been--listening to today here at the Village HQ. We hope you join us in doing so!
