AURAL MUSIC IMPRINT “GOREGORECORDS” TO RE-RELEASE DEATH-METAL MILESTONE “INSIDE THE UNREAL”
2012-03-05
Goregorecords, the death metal sublabel of Aural Music, will re-release the long time sold out album “Inside the Unreal” from italian Death Metal Gods ELECTROCUTION. to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original release, the members of the band gathered to work on this special, limited edition CD, remastered and visually revamped in a luxurious digipack. Commented Guitarist Alex Guadagnoli: “We’ve been offered many times to license this album for a reissue through the last decade but for one reason or another we’ve always declined. Incredibly, fans kept showing support and appreciation for 20 years and we’re amazed by such a loyal display of respect. The price of used copies on Amazon skyrocketed up to $100 each and still the items sold out. At this point we wanted to give death metal fans a better way to own this record. Since this year is the 20th Anniversary of the original release, we feel the time is right. We’re packing this limited edition with great content, remastered songs, completely re-styled artwork and never before seen pictures, all in a stunning digipak with a 16 page booklet. Plus, we couldn’t be happier with the label and distribution we’ve signed with.”
dear members of the world who make out the few percentage of it that is our listeners,
when we started this band it’s main purpose was to be musical therapy for the four of us involved. within the walls of our rehearsal space we could do anything, and we did all that our minds could come up with. maybe not the most original stuff ever to come out of a band, but it was heartfelt and at the top of our performance. that was all we needed and all we ever wanted. during the ten year life span of this band we made eight demos and three cd’s (including the alter egos come sleep and rövfitta) and we are glad we’ve had the chance to make and record so much music. we haven’t travelled far or often, but some of the gigs we’ve done have been amazing and journeys on stage. music is a very onesided relationship. you take, music gives. if music doesn’t give, you listen to something else. when you are done with music, you sell it and buy new music. unless music keeps giving, then things stay the same until it doesn’t. now, treat people like that and they will leave you. thankfully, music makes you feel but it doesn’t feel. we like to talk about music as our lover, but we treat it like a whore. it sounds harsh, but it’s the truth. so what’s the point to all this ranting? well, two months ago, misha decided to leave the band. music wasn’t giving any more. the muse that had been lingua inspired no new material and was giving no theraputic value. in fact, he felt like he didn’t need that kind of therapy anymore. anyone who listenes to the lyrics off the last album can clearly hear the direction things were going. we worked so hard making “all my rivals..”, drained ourselves from ideas and threw everything we had in it. little did we know we were working on our swan song. but it became very clear to us as a year progressed after its release and we stood without new ideas, energy or inspiration. lingua had been drained and there was nothing we could do to bring it back to life again. when misha anounced his departure, all these issues surfaced and it stood clear that the band in fact had been dead for a long time. we just didn’t want to se it. we had a great run, ten fucking years! but everything ends, and lingua (with all its alter egos) ends here. so what now? thomas, anders and patrik has decided to keep playing music, but under a different name and with all new material. there was never any doubt not to bring in more people and keep lingua alive. lingua is a collective and it has four members. without any single one of us out, lingua is not. simple as that. misha has decided to leave music alone for a while in hope to find new inspiration. meanwhile he’s going back to school in order to educate himself as school was one of his imaginary ghosts as a young man. but whatever we do musically, we promise you that we will keep you updated on this blog so you can follow us, if you feel it’s hard to let go. but we can’t leave without a grand finale, right? so first off we will finnish what we’ve started, which is a new rövfitta demo. expect 13 tracks of hard hitting and utterly stupid thrash punk in swedish. we’ve also decided to upload everything we’ve ever done with lingua that isn’t bound to legal restraints to our reverbnation site. all our demos, some from the albums, some rehearsals, pre-recordings from 2007 and a few live takes as well. it will all be up there in a little while (or a long while), we’ll let you know when it’s time. and after that, it’s goodbye!
Two new shows have been annonced by the band: On March 02nd, TODTGELICHTER will headline a fine Black/Death/Pagan Metal event in Vienna, Austria at the Escape Metalcorner. Furthermore, the band will co- headline for AGRYPNIE on March 17th in the Gaswerk/ Winterthur (CH). The Studio date for the successor to “Angst” is set for November 2012 and an album title has already eben revealed: Once again, borders will become obsolete and walls will be teared down. Get ready for “Apnoe” to blow your mind in early 2013!
French Atmospheric Doom Metal combo Angellore have signed a deal with Dreamcell11/Aural Music Group for the release of their debut album “Errances”. The album that includes 7 songs of pure emotional and atmospheric doom/gothic metal and was recorded, mixed and mastered in December 2009. The mixing and mastering part was taken care of by Florent Krist at Studio AV in France. Release date is still to be announced. The band stated: “Angellore really feels honored & proud to be part of Aural Music/DreamCell11 roster.

This album will make you dream, fly, cry, smile and you will understand the difference between truly inspired music and the commercially driven releases that are infesting the market nowadays…Support this band, you won’t regret it.”

Levania sign with DREAMCELL11
2012-01-17
Italian Gothic Metal band Levania have signed a deal with Dreamcell11/Aural Music Group for the release their debut album “Parasynthesis”. The album, that includes 10 very original tracks with a sound never listened before, was recorded and mixed in December 2010 at Zenith Recording Studios in Italy and produced by Frank Andiver. The mastering was taken care of Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Finland. The artwork and photos for the album was made by Patrizia Cogliati of Musicphoto Designs.
Levania is enthusiastic to annunce the signing with Dreamcell11 of Aural group. For us it’s the best opportunity to make known to all the world who we are and listen to it how deep is our sound. After some years playing and three demos recorded in studio, under label Dreamcell11, it will be released our first full lenght album entitled “Parasynthesis”.
Parasynthesis is a conceptual synthesis that expresses the essence of the notion of gothic-metal, a sort of definition of the absolute meant as a union of opposites in a complementary dichotomy in love-death that has its roots in the twentieth century and romanticism.
The two opposites that can be seen in the various songs on the album are not static but rather charged with different tones and details gradually, starting from a lack of erotic boost seen as the beginning of everything (Agharti I), through a wild and emotional research about what is missing from our completeness (Agharti II, Basteth’s Kiss,Midnight of Silence), through anger (The Narrow Way of Juliette, Carthago Nova), despair (Sibyl of the Dark), beliefs (Natural Motion) and the acceptance of this absence (Agharti III, Eroica) until you reach a sort of rapture limbo where the absence is satisfied only in our hearts, where the Seeker takes refuge from the outside world. Parasyntesis just tells us in this long inner journey through a quest that will never end, because that will coincide with the end goal of research, mixed blessing of our ego.
