BARATHRUM is manufactured right now

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Guys, good news again on the BARATHRUM – LONG LIVE SATAN release coming up in march. I allready wrote that I got the cover prints with perfect quality. Meanwhile I got the OK from Demonos Sova about the mastered version of the CD-R too. And last but not least I just have numbered all the covers and manufactured the first CD-R.

Everything looks good for a in time release.

Thanks for all helping hands out there and all the preorders which have been made so far. It’s all overwhelming and I am very excited about the CD-R.

BARATHRUM – Cover artwork finished

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Yesterday – shortly before the sun set – I picked up the cover prints from BARATHRUMs – LONG LIVE SATAN CD-Rom. It’s printed on a really great paper and looks fantastic. After my upcoming travel to the old city of Dresden I will start with giving the 100 pieces a number. As soon as Mr. Demonos Sova gives his OK to the master, I will start burning the BARATHRUM rarity.

Everything is prepared. The number of preorders is still increasing – thanks to all you guys who are so supportive. All other better make their orders soon. It may happen that just a few copies are left in march.

Well… but now I’ll go back to the CATACOMBS studios and do some music for NIGHTGAUNTS.

I wish you all the best for the next year. Enjoy your drinks and the night!

The CD will have 11 tracks on it. It has been recorded in 1996 and you can listen to classics like WARMETAL, VICTORY FEAST, DEATH IS SAVIOUR and much more. Be prepared for totally jetblack metal!

Yours,

It is true. I have been asked to create some music for a german spoken Lovecraft radioplay. Well, I allready started with it and decided to give that stuff a name: NIGHTGAUNTS. This project is dedicated to dark and ancient music, with a bit ambient maybe. However, there is no rock and roll equipment planned here. If you like only metal or gothic rock, you proably better go with CULTES DES GOULES. A website is beeing planned, but no work has been done here. First I want to finish the music.

CULTES DES GOULES debut is OUT NOW!!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Dear Friends, living or dead,

it has been done! Finally CULTES DES GOULES debut THE HOUSE AT THE WATER is out when the night falls this evening! The first fellow undead have allready received their package. If you still need it, check out the GHUL SHOP:
http://www.ghul.org/index.php?p=shop.articles

In the last weeks people told me that CULTES DES GOULES is extraordinary. Some told me it’s shit, cause metal has to be played with guitars. Some just said “production is shit and everything else too”. Well – please have in mind that CULTES DES GOULES is not a 100% metal band. It’s a mix between DEATH ROCK and a HORROR METAL (and the latter one isn’t an official name for anything). Together with the lyrics of LOVECRAFT, POE and others, you’ll sure have an extaordinary thing, but no easy listening.

You may want to have (or spread around :-) ) a full preview of the album, here you go:
http://www.lastfm.de/music/Cultes+Des+Goules/The+House+At+The+Water

Or download some MP3s here:
http://www.cultesdesgoules.org

Or check out MySpace, of course:

The release comes as a CD-R with full coloured and professionally printed 4 page booklet. It’s beeing hold in a slim case and has a simple sticker on it. As you may have noticed, it is not released as a printed CD but a burned CD-R.

I also would appreciate it, if you would support underground music and could forward this! Thanks!

Yours sincerely!

CULTES DES GOULES – Shit in the eyes of Heavyhardes.de

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Well, can’t say that nobody has told me that magazines these days are not very open for the underground. I wrote a blog article about that this months. What happens, if a guy, who thinks BARATHRUM is boring crap, reviews CULTES DES GOULES? Not even the same, since BARATHRUM usually got a very good production.

In the opinion of Ray, who is writing for heavyhardes.de, SLAYER, METALLICA and IMMORTAL are 3 of the best metal bands ever. These bands had their good times actually. The list continues and everybody who reads the ROCK HARD magazine knows everything about tha bands. No underground here.

Fact is, everything which is not depending on taste, is wrong. Actually it seems that he was to lazy to open the booklet. With sarcastic letters he told me that:

- CULTES DES GOULES was a gothic band before (it NEVER was)
- the the closing song ALICE is named “ABOUT ALICE” (what a crap, why does this guy think the song is called like this? Open the booklet!)
- that ALICE is one of my songs (it’s a cover song unfortunatly – you can read this in the booklet too)
- GHUL Productions is newly found (actually its POSSESSED RECORDS as you can read everywhere, it’s just renamed since I am only doing CD-Rs)

Well, thanks guy. Don’t believe how to gt 4 errors in just 3 paragraphs? Read it here.

Of course Ray doesn’t like the use of basses instead of guitars. It sounded like he was doing something in the kitchen while the boring shit was playing. Of course he didn’t mention the Beethoven arrangement. Of course there was not a single tune he liked, since there was no atmosphere in the whole composition. And yes, the bad production (which I actually made on my own studios and IS not perfect or even good) is destroying everything else. And I forgot, the keyboard sounds are cheap. I have no keyboards and the sounds are not really cheap, but I forgive him that, he really cannot know.

OK thats it. My article about how badly rechecked this review is, is actually longer than the actual review. Well, now I know that innovation is evil. Ray doesn’t want innovation. And I have to pay 10.000 euro at a minimum for the coolest production I can have. Ray need a clear production. And Ray needs a german booklet, since it seems that he isn’t able to read the english one.

Heavyhardes.de of course will not get any promo cd again. Otherwise I am afraid to bore them to death. In fact I really worry about sending out promos in general. I guess the other reviews will stay the same. And why should you guys read those reviews when you can listen to CULTES DES GOULES ON LAST.FM for free?
