Finally, some great news about the long-awaited compilation album paying tribute to the writer H. P. Lovecraft. It will be released after all by I, Voidhanger Records, an obscure underground metal label. The album begins with a dark ambient piece created by Jääportit that lasts about 25 minutes. The track, titled Kuihtuman henkivi, was actually finished back in 2006, so obviously it sounds quite different from the latest Jääportit release. What a deep and dark journey into the abyss it still is.
Quote from the label’s website:
“Graphic and layout for a secretly assembled tribute-album that will inaugurate a series of thematic releases on I, Voidhanger Records are almost complete.
78 minutes in length, the album will contain 4 exclusive tracks by the avant-garde/progressive doom masters AARNI and UMBRA NIHIL, the cosmic-ambient psychonauts JÄÄPORTIT, and the blackened space-doom project CAPUT LVIIIm (featuring members of necro-doomsters Malasangre, black-ambient visionaries Tronus Abyss, and avant-garde metallers Necroart).
Tentatively scheduled for a September release, the tribute will be out as a jewel case CD housed in a slipcase, with a 20-page full-colour booklet with lyrics and liner notes.
