"Hello fans of Abridged Pause! Welcome to the new year and thank you for caring enough to read this! I really love doing this yearly news post, filled with promises of grandiose releases. Unfortunately there are always a few that end up not happening, but it makes it fun to look back on in the future and it also gives you guys a glimpse into what releases are in the works and being talked about at Abridged Pause Recordings.
First thing on the schedule is a new various artists compilation entitled “Billowing Tempestus“, coming out in February or March of 2016. “Billowing Tempestus” is a follow-up to the very first Abridged Pause Recordings release, “Diluvian Temperals“, and will feature bands in the post-black metal, post-metal, sludge, post-rock and ambient genres. The artwork is currently being created by Erich Kriebel of the band Cetus from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Every song included on “Billowing Tempestus” will be exclusive to the compilation. These are all brand new, unreleased songs. Most of them were recorded specifically for “Billowing Tempestus“, but a few were pulled out from the archives and hadn’t been heard, even by the bands, in years. Since this is the official announcement of the compilation, I think that the bands scheduled to be on it should be revealed (as if you hadn’t read them already in the flyer above!)!
This list is alphabetical: Black Autumn (which was also on “Diluvian Temperals”), Black Sand and Starless Nights (which was also on “Diluvian Temperals”), Brainscan, Cara Neir, Černá, Cetus, Citadel Swamp, Den Andre Lys, Éphémère, Feast, In Cauda Venenum, Ossific, Pet Slimmers of the Year (which was also on “Diluvian Temperals”), Sky Flying By, Somnam (which was also on “Diluvian Temperals”), Sorrowbringer, Spectrale and The Sound of Rescue.
This upcoming digital compilation will be accompanied by an e-zine featuring lengthy personalized interviews with each of the bands and liner notes of the release. Think of the e-zine as a digital magazine booklet! This is a very exciting project that I cannot wait to release! But for now all you get is a preview. In Cauda Venenum and Černá have posted teasers on YouTube and Facebook of the songs they contributed. Hopefully this will get you guys excited!"
