about

On September 15th internationally, PERSONAL RECORDS teams up again with CARATHIS for a new EP, The Haunting of Sablewood, to be released on CD format.

Always restless but always exciting, CARATHIS present a dramatic shift in their songcraft on The Haunting of Sablewood, keeping their melodic black metal core but pushing it even further - a unique nexus of horror-oriented heavy metal and creepy deathrock. As our comrades at the Transmissions from the Dark YouTube channel so colorfully write, "I am pleased to present a spooktacular new release from Erech Leleth's CARATHIS project - he of Ancient Mastery, Narzissus, GRANDEUR, and several other intoxicatingly cool projects - with an EP of fiendish melody and playfully eerie atmosphere! Fully expect the start of 'The Anniversary' to tip in to 'Welcome to the Jungle,' which I suspect is fully deliberate – it does not, but it does accelerate into some glam speed metal with sinister blackened screechy gothic vocals, which kinda describes this whole EP, but doesn’t capture the euphoric rush that it keeps delivering in so many detailed little flourishes. Be they changes in pace and tone, vocal styles, riffs or rhythms, this whole record is a deliriously cool rush of metal and rock. And then bam - it is over! A sugary dark delicacy, pitch-black that will get you a bit hyper - like licorice, expect licorice is disgusting, and CARATHIS is awesome."

The moon sails in a sea of black infinity speckled with stars. You feel flesh turn to fur, and your blood boils with bestial rage. The hunt begins. 10/10 garmr_

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken

If this came through your feed, you're probably like "Way to go dumbass... You didn't have this shit already??" 😂🤣 I'll have you know I am buying this album once again (for like, what? the 4th time??) to pick up the new sick "sea blue gel" vinyl variant of this modern classic. Jfc Earache Records still knows how to grab my money, even after all these years haha. Have a feeling "Hiss" will be near the top of my Albums of the Decade list when all is said and done. What an absolute masterpiece. bcb723

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
