Rymdborg - s/t



A strange and new cassette has shown its appearance, debut cassette for the act as well. It was "promoted" via the social networks as: 

Medieval Space Travel Ambient. No sales. No orders. No booking.

And that is all u get; No Bandcamp, Discogs ... Or Myspace (whatever that is). You just pop in the cassette are you are ready to go, a strange voyage into an even-stranger cosmic territory. Don't worry, we are not talking about space-ambient with a nice glossy cover-artwork. Highly esoteric, mysterious, convincing, unique, primitive and murky soundscapes. I truly hate (always) mentioning the Cold Meat Industry tag, but for those who love the early and harsh death-ambient sound of Megaptera or Memorandum would definitely 100% love this. It has that almost mythical aesthetic experimental charm, and it really does sound like an early recording from back in the day. The moody flesh-scraping harshness is joined up by folksy, droneish and rather-merry organ-synths, a nice (and working!) mixture of two opposite elements.Almost works as a religious experience. Here the A-side ends and the B-side starts, continuing the religious thing which evolves into something rather...mind-bending. There is no doubt about it that the great cosmos is something truly awe-inspiring. Almost like something which can snap your mind, maybe this medieval rocket have entered the chamber of the outer god Azathoth? Which is something which will blow most minds into utter madness?That something that makes us human feel utterly insignificant compared to the great cosmos. It all ends in a moody and slightly melancholic down-tuned dungeon synth-tune, giving the passengers a nice descent back/down to earth. True stoner-synth? 


This tape makes you thirsty for more, I want to travel with Rymdborg anytime!. Wanna track down this cassette? What tip can I give you? Track down a little Irish-looking sword-carrying gnome (wink wink). Well... What are you waiting for?!.
