Check Out This Huge Tape Package

This tape package is super impressive, and yes, it has been talked about quite a bit; but I waited until after announcing the first tape from FERMENTÆ (Kevin Gan Yuen of Sutekh Hexen and others) before hitting on this set.

Here is the 6 tapes included:


Fermentæ (Kevin Yuen of Sutekh Hexen) - Allusions CS
Terence Hannum (of Locrian) - Crown of Immortality CS
Demian Johnston (of Great Falls) - Untitled CS
Cetacea (Bryan Bray of Gates) - Glyphs CS
Reuben Sawyer (of Rainbath Visual) - Untitled CS
Njiqahdda - To Escape the Tide CS

This is an impressive list and all the tapes are limited to just 50 copies and there are not many left. There might be a few of them available individually, but who knows.

The First Tape from FERMENTÆ

FERMENTÆ is the solo project of one, Kevin Gan Yuen (Sutekh Hexen, artiste) and Glossolalia is the first tape from the project and is coming via MERZ Tapes.

FERMENTÆ "Glossolalia" CS
Side A: First Contact (Eve) / Side B: Warmest Rapture / Six Farewells
Release Date: April 13, 2012

Edition limited to 100 black shell high-bias, ink-imprinted chrome cassettes.

Here is some more:

"Glossolalia," in some respects, illuminates the underside of nature-inspired dark ambient with passages manipulating foreboding, discordant overtones.  Culturally, the glossolalic denotes an act synonymous with the phenomenon of purportedly speaking in tongues, which, in turn, constructs a new mode of articulating thoughts by uttering words rooted in an unknown language.

Disclosing sonic, yet speech-like syllables exercised in a ritualistic context, FERMENTÆ "Glossolalia" inculcates an idea of language that reintroduces the threat and allure of the magical. 

Sounds great... Pre-order here
