"Voices From the Void" represents the debut material from Chilean artist ASTRAL ROOTS and features a doom ridden brand of melancholy.  With lengthy tracks displaying a variety of paces, the work is meant to be taken in its entirety as a complete opus.  Alternating rises and falls take the listener on a journey which is both sombre and pensive and, in the end, leaves a feeling of hollowness behind. - Razed Soul Productions

SOUL DISSOLUTION - Cold Rays and Grey Waves


SOUL DISSOLUTION is a project based in Belgium and can be described as Melancholic Black Metal, inspired by such bands as Alcest, Raventale, Drudkh, Svarti Loghin, Forgotten Tomb and the likes. This first demo, entitled "Cold Rays and Grey Waves", runs for 30 minutes and has just been released, both on CD-R (through CVLMINIS - facebook.com/CVLMINIS) and on tape (self-release).

TRACKLIST
01. The Smell of Freedom - 7:11
02. This Red Painting in the Sky - 5:33
03. Waves - 8:04
04. The Final Dissolution : Part 1 - 7:53

Unbearable pressure, being torn apart... an existence can end in many ways.... It can also dim slowly, as a lantern in the growing fog, eventually disappearing from sight, dissolving into nothingness. Following the decline of this frail light is what this project is about....

SOUL DISSOLUTION was born as a side project of two members from L'Hiver en Deuil; Jabawock (also in Marche Funèbre) started composing new material as of Fall 2011, and was joined by Acharan (also ex-Sarin) towards the end of 2012 to perform vocal duties. 

This lineup recorded the first demo, Cold Rays and Grey Waves, which will be released on CDR by CVLMINIS (Russia, sub-branch of Rigorism prod), and self-released on tape, in the course of summer 2014. 



The demo was recorded in Spring 2014 at Celestial Event studio using programmed drums, though Celestial himself (also in Bones) is foreseen to be the drummer for the future releases. A first full-length album is already in preparation, and can be expected for 2015.
