STONE MAGNUM-Holy Blessings to None to be released on LP by Lighten the Underground

 

Lighten the Underground, in cooperation with RIP Records, proudly presents the unholy masterpiece of traditional heavy/doom metal, Stone Magnum-𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐍𝐨𝐧𝐞.

 

 

Originally released on cd some years earlier, and now in VINYL, for the first time.

The vinyl version will include 3 different colours:

  • Black in 300 copies
  •  Red in 100 copies
  •  Grey in 100 copies.

The solid guitar riffs, the slow tempos which alternate to the mid ones, and the operatic, yet dynamic, vocals, are combined with the dark melodies, the explosive guitar solos and the eerie post apocalyptic atmosphere, to create the flaming path towards the abyss, the perpetual sadness, the desolation.

𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐍𝐨𝐧𝐞 combines doom metal from both sides of the ocean. However, the influences from CANDLEMASS, SAINT VITUS (and especially the Die Healing album era), THE GATES OF SLUMBER are just an evidence of what you are going to listen.

The style is the heavy/doom metal the Stone Magnum way, and the album is worthily following the tradition of the milestones of the genre.

The album itself, possibly can be mentioned as a landmark of the genre, for the years to come.

Tracklist

Side A

As I Burn Your World To Ash

Stone Magnum

The Illusion Of Faith

Immurement At Tiefburg

 

Side B

Signum Crucis

Holy Blessings To None

 

𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐍𝐨𝐧𝐞 will be the first release for 2023, as the vinyl’s release date is the 1st of January of the new year.

DRAXXIS VINYL RELEASE BY LIGHTEN THE UNDERGROUND

Lighten the Underground with honour presents you the metal heroes from Pennsylvania DRAXXIS, and their crushing 1989 demo on vinyl!
One of the very few times in metal history that a band with only one demo reached such high levels of synthetic perfection.

DRAXXIS music could be described as a mix of Queensryche (EP era), Crimson Glory, early Savatage and Metal Church, delivering the perfect balance between melody, lyricism and power.
Time to sink below the endless Tides of Destiny...Time to hear the Whisper of Power...
