  • Description

    Five years after the release of Hearts of No Light, Swiss avant garde experimentalists SCHAMMASCH return with the follow up, The Maldoror Chants: Old Ocean - set for release via Prosthetic Records on October 25.

    This upcoming release will be the second in an ongoing series of works by SCHAMMASCH that draws from Les Chants de Maldoror - one of the 19th century's most fascinating literary works which would later become part of the foundation of the surrealist movement.

    Sonically, the album charts the continued evolution in the sound of SCHAMMASCH; dark, gothy undertones rise often to the surface with sultry spoken word taking centre stage at various points. A pulsating, monolithic rhythm flows through the album with their atmospheric take on post-black metal providing a majestic backdrop - replete with a love for detail and the use of unusual elements like accordions, classical orchestration or industrial soundscapes - to explore existential thoughts on humanity and its ambivalent relationship to nature.
