Don’t be driving or operating machinery whilst listening to Halo Manash. If nearly any other band said something like this about their music, I’d dismiss it as pretentious piffle, but Halo Manash put their music where their bold rhetorical claims are, and fully justify them. What was seeded at the Thin Veils has been gathered at Harvest time, and is offered to the seeker as a libation and guide into the ever-liminal, shrouded spaces, for dream-vigils and awakenings. Guided by nether nectars and dream herbs, oneiric visions and the light of lunar tides… Language of Red Goats aims to be a cartography of cavernous elemental realms and regions, sources and springs that run deep and thick with the fluids of life, death and dream. It’s so potent that if the government ever finds out about it, they’ll probably make it illegal. Halo Manash’s music is dense, ritualistic ambient, thick with occult signification and the potential for producing altered states of consciousness.

I own eight of these pieces, most of which have been reviewed here on Judas Kiss, and every single one of them is excellent. Since then, they have maintained enviably high standards, releasing a mere nine CDs, by Halo Manash, Zoät-Aon, Aeoga, Arktau Eos and Aural Holograms. I’ve been absolutely hooked on their releases ever since the first one, Par-Antra I: Vir, also by Halo Manash, appeared in 2004. And the Finnish underground label Aural Hypnox has it in spades. Like charisma, it’s not really something you can strive to acquire. NOTE: Shipping is scheduled to start on 1st of July.Mystique is an important but elusive concept. The cassette is housed inside a screen printed matt black cardboard covers including an 8-panel booklet. Listen how the luminous darkness is calling and devouring One and All. These all have been tied together by subtle synth tapestries and raspy vocals flowing out like an obscure black swarm of ghost daggers. The songs are culminating on mind altering dissonant guitar riffs, minimal yet heavy bass lines and powerful, bestial drumming. If genres or other classification is necessary be it “Black Heavy Metal”. Unfyros delivers a unique mixture of old-school, mid-tempo black and heavy metal with a strong emphasis on dark, hypnotic and menacing atmospheres through captivating, eerie melodies and haunting passages. “Into Sibylline Woods” features two tracks ”The Dagger Within” and ”In Dawn Claws” both from their upcoming debut ”Alpha Hunt”. Thus the name Unfyros an entity possessing and pervading, a liminal fire seeing through the space and time eternal.” “Tempered by the blazing otherworld fire we move on with determination and follow the unuttered and unwritten doctrines. who was joined by Nox Vector on drums in 2021.
