Striborg - Ghostwoodlands

Thursday, 31. May 2007, 23:11:04

Black Metal, Striborg, New Release

The brand new Striborg album "Ghostwoodlands" is scheduled to be released on June 28th by Displeased. It can be preordered now.

Recorded in Sep/Oct on Cbase LE and has by far the greatest production for Striborg. This album comprises of 7 tracks/50 Minutes of dark droning and depressing anti-socialist black gloom metal, the best-written and rehearsed album with a truly mesmerizing bleak atmosphere. Buzzing cold guitars, heavy storming bass, eerie keyboards, terrifying vocals and a punching drum sound quality!

Striborg stuff

Black Metal, Sunn, Vinyl, Reissue ...

Lots of little Striborg news... First off, Displeased are reissuing Nocturnal Emissions / Nyctophobia and Spiritual Catharsis today. Both CDs were originally released in limitied editions on Sin Nanna's own label Finsternis, and have been repackaged. I haven't seen the result with my own eyes yet, but should be worth getting.

Further, the Xasthur/Striborg split 7" is finally available for preorder (when they will actually be delivered is not made clear) from Autopsy Kitchen. As if the split single wasn't enough, you can even get a split T shirt with the purchase...

It's been a long time coming and finally Australia's most understated black metal project collaborates with the United States ever prolific Xasthur on an agonizing split of melancholy and anti-jovial piece of wax. This limited vinyl features 1 recording from each band each of which will be exclusive to this release. Limited to 1,000 copies of which 800 will be pressed on clear vinyl and 200 on grey vinyl. The grey vinyl version will be available through AKR mailorder only and sold with an exclusive grey T shirt made exclusively for this release. This is a pre-order and your copy will be shipped as soon as they are back from press. No exact date known, sorry. As with all of our vinyl releases at Autopsy Kitchen = NO RE-PRESS EVER!

The planned Striborg "Trepidation" Double LP on Black Hate has been cancelled. According to Black Hate, Sin Nanna gave the rights to someone else.

Finally, I find myself on the wrong side of the planet, as Sin Nanna is appearing live with Sunn, Atilla and Oren Ambarchi in Australia on the 8th of May. See the poster at the top, or read more at the Southern Lord blog.

Striborg, Black Metal, Vinyl, Southern Lord ...

Southern Lord today announced that they will release the worldwide 2xLP version of Nefaria, as well as the North American version of the CD. They also state a release date for March 2007. Displeased is handling the European release on CD, and they still state December for the CD release.

Trepidation is also going to see the light of day on 2xLP. German label Black Hate is planning for an early 2007 release.

Striborg - misc news

Saturday, 28. October 2006, 12:11:31

Striborg, Veil of Darkness, Asgard Musik, Black Metal ...

Striborg's next full length album, "Nefaria / A Tragic Journey Towards the Light" will be released December 13th on Displeased. Displeased are taking up preorders now. Quote from Finsternis newsletter:

Nefaria was recorded in May as the last analogue recording and comprises of 7 tracks/42 minutes of material and the sound is comparable to Spiritual Catharsis with the style progressing even further than Embittered Darkness but incorporates all previous styles into one album with a more organic feel.

Misanthropic Isolation has been reissued on Asgard Musik, and is available now. Quote from Asgard:

The final release in October is that of Striborg. "Misanthropic Isolation" will once again be available on cd, this time with 6 bonus tracks taken from the "Roaming The Forest". All the original MI tracks have been remastered and with new layout.

Quote from Finsternis newsletter:

MI has new improved sound levels and a replaced version of Dawn of Winter. Roaming the forests has the 6 best tracks from the 10 years CDR + a rehearsal track from Trepidation!

Next up on/via Asgard is a reissue of Striborg's "In The Heart Of The Rainforest" (slated for January) as well as a Veil of Darkness CD. Quote from a mail from Asgard:

In about a month there will also be the cd release of all the Veil Of Darkness material, this is Sin Nanna's dark ambient project, and this will be out on his own label, Finsternis Prod (I will have some copies for stock).

Then there is the Xasthur/Striborg split that's still to come:

Striborg track recorded in April and probably the best short Striborg track ever – you'll hear!

Interestingly, Sin Nanna seems to be abandoning analogue equipment after "Nefaria". The next (after Nefaria) album "Gostwoodlands" will be out early or mid 2007 on CD and LP.

Recorded in Sep/Oct on Cbase LE and has by far the greatest production for Striborg. This album comprises of 7 tracks/50 Minutes of dark droning and depressing anti-socialist black gloom metal, the best-written and rehearsed album with a truly mesmerizing bleak atmosphere. Buzzing cold guitars, heavy storming bass, eerie keyboards, terrifying vocals and a punching drum sound quality!

Finally, I found a perfectly describing comment over at the guestbook of the Striborg Fan Page:

I just got out of rehab, and I just a copy of Cold Winter Moon, and it's fuckin' wicked man, makes me wanna smoke some grass and throw a brick through a computer shop window.

Striborg - Upcoming releases

Saturday, 30. September 2006, 07:53:14

Black Metal, Striborg, New Release, Asgard Musik

It seems from various web sources that there are a lot of Striborg releases underway. Thanks to Ben Bailey of Asgard Musik for additional info and confirmation of some of the info.

Two new CDs will be out on Asgard this autumn (that would be the spring in Australia...).

"Misanthropic Isolation / Roaming The Forest" CD (Oct 06)
"In The Heart Of The Rainforest" + other tracks CD ("By the end of the year")

Asgard will release some Striborg vinyl records, but that won't be until next year. Asgard have the rights for "Misanthropic Isolation" and "Depressive Hibernation" so far.

Striborg will also be contributing an exclusive track to a cd box set out on Asgard in January.

Displeased will release the brand new Striborg album, called "Nefaria / A Tragic Journey Towards the Light". This album is recorded and delivered to Displeased, but Sin Nanna is apparently still unsure as to when it is to be released. I myself got no answer from Displeased when I tried to email them. Striborg is signed to Displeased for the next 4-5 years, so we will see some more releases coming through them. Sin Nanna has either recorded the next album after "Nefaria..." or is currently rehearsing the material for it, depending on the source. Allegedly, this album will be called "Ghostwoodlands" and consist of two 25 minute tracks.

German label Black Hate Productions is planning on releasing "Trepidation" on double LP. I emailed Black Hate about this, but nothing is definite yet. And the label tells me that it takes time to negotioate through the mail...

There is a split CD with Wold coming. The Striborg half will be a rerelease of the "Cold Winter Moon" demo.

The aforementioned split with Xasthur will feature a new Striborg song.

Finally, a previous catalogue from Sin Nanna's label Finsternis tells that ISO-666 and Regimental each will reissue Striborg CDs, but I have no more info on this right now.

Xasthur / Striborg split 7"

Tuesday, 8. August 2006, 11:59:45

Black Metal, xasthur, Striborg, Autopsy Kitchen

Autopsy Kitchen is set to release what could be an interesting split single between Xasthur and Striborg. For once, the actual combination of artists on a split seems to fit a purpose. Summer is nearing it's end, so I optimistically suppose it can't be far off:

It's been a long time coming and finally Australia's most understated black metal project collaborates with the United States ever prolific Xasthur on an agonizing split of melancholy and anti-jovial piece of wax. Material has already been recorded and this split will see the dark of night sometime this Summer.

As well, the Striborg vinyl debut 2xLP version of "Embittered Darkness/Isle Des Mortes" is out on Southern Lord:

We are extremely honored to be the very first label to release Tasmanian Rain Forest Black Metal Mystic: Striborg on vinyl! The vinyl version of this killer album is on clear vinyl and comes in a thick cardboard jacket/gatefold sleeve. This is limited to a one-time pressing of 1,000 copies! With the clear vinyl version limited to (400) units.
