Aarni

Howlings from September 2008 e.v.

Aarni — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:27:41 -0000

From the latest newsletter issue:

Dear elitist,

1) Aarni currently records 'Dimwa Depenga', a mellow acoustic song in the Ouranian-Barbaric tongue. The title translates to English as 'Beam Faceless'. The music style may distantly remind you of 'V.I.T.R.I.O.L.' and 'Oneiroskopos', here utilising both harmony and disharmony for a general horrorshow.

2) Since the last newsletter issue we have in all silence completed another new tune: a chaotic-organic instrumental called 'Hypnagogia' mainly featuring the electric guitar, grand piano plus divers sounds contributing to the kind of ambience implied in the title. In all likelihood this track won't be made available for online listening because of inevitable quality degradation due to its length. Well, the same probably goes for all of the new tracks.

Like I told you in the previous newsletter issue, these new songs will be on the next Aarni album - dubbed 'Omnimantia' by the way. Its release will take place once we have completed at least 60 minutes' worth of quality material. At this point we've got around 50 minutes, so we hope to be able to release Omnimantia by early 2009 e.v. at the latest. The music styles involved look like to feature death metal, funeral doom, jazz, prog and the usual innovative chaos - this time maybe with better taste. All in all angry and quirky stuff executed in various monstrous voices, just like your favourite uncle!

3) Amidst all the scatness of making new material we found time to remaster Bathos as well: we toned down the excessive bottom end and added overall sonic clarity. The tweaked album has been made available at the online music store The Ground for the price of 6 euros.

You can also find Tohcoth there costing the same amount, plus the remastered Double Demo for 5 euros. Unfortunately there's currently no downloadable album art or more importantly, the CD booklet! We may however put the 'Bathos' and 'Tohcoth' booklets on the Aarni website for free download as pdf documents or the sort at some point. Let's see how the spirits move us.

Anyway, The Ground is currently the only online music store legally selling Aarni releases. Revenge will be taken 333-fold on others. The crushing occult wheels turn already sending out madness and death to the guilty fucks.

4) Powerful protection against the Fashion Polizei: the Aarni t-shirt design has been completed and submitted...a black shirt with silvery print, featuring the Bathos-era band logo and the "frog-thing baiting a monk" wood engraving image displayed on the Information page of the Aarni website. Hopefully the rags will be available before too long.
Don't call us, we'll call you.

Yours by the dingleberries of Satan,
MW

Recent tidings, shoggoths, fnords

Many of you patients have been requesting some rags to cover up your loathsome nakedness and now we can help you: respectable Aarni T-shirts will probably be available in the more or less distant future. More info as soon as we get it...

I don't recall if I stated this before, but 'Tohcoth' too is interactive yet after another manner than 'Bathos'. The interactive portion of the record consists of magickal sigils in the booklet: the listener/operator is kindly asked to concentrate on each one in turn, charging and launching them in a state of gnosis as per the popular practice in Chaos Magic. To you that's ogling at the artsy red-coloured scribbles in the booklet page corners and wanking, bub.

Many wondrous and blissful things will happen to you and your planet if you choose to comply! Help yourself to help us help you. Yes, this is no joke. I somewhat painstakingly made those sigils in the Tohcoth booklet just for you to launch. I hope this is a good excuse for you to have sex or some other activity leading to the required 'moment of emptiness'.

Speaking of which, we've still got a few copies of 'Tohcoth' left and feel anxious to be rid of them. Contact us for pity's sake and get a nice gift for someone special. Your favourite lover and/or enemy perhaps? Remember too that Mother's Day draws close...

Aarni now has a spanking new ReverbNation page. We suggest you visit it as the site clearly beats the likes of My$pace in many wonderful ways.
Featured are numerous full-length songs from all Aarni releases, plus "fan exclusive" stuff such as unreleased tracks and other curiosities. In about a week two further early songs ('In The Mouth Of Oulu' and 'Kakkakepponen') will after remastering hopefully be added there, as in time will be such new tracks as don't fit the Lovecraftian concept of the forthcoming 3rd Aarni album, but are too good to be thrown away...I kid, Aarni never throws anything away - we are ecological in that way.

At the moment ReverbNation has a total of 11 Aarni songs, including the fan exclusives 'Ethanol Jam' and 'Logos (piano edit)'. "Becoming" a fan shouldn't be too painful as it is gratis. And while you're at it you might want to consider joining the Aarni mailing list feature there. It seems more fancy than these plain text Liber Aarnis. Maybe it will in time replace the old Bravenet newsletter service that we currently use...let's see if enough people wish to join it and unsubscribe from the Bravenet one.

Yea, naturally the recordings of the 3rd album are underway and likely will be for quite some time. The song 'Yule Horror' has been practically completed and now only awaits for the finishing guest star contributions. Additionally, the vocal recordings for 'Nemesis' should be completed later this week as well as some of my guitar solos for the forthcoming Umbra Nihil album.

Let's shoggoth!
