Here’s one to send you off into the TGIF abyss…
We’ve got an exclusive stream of “Black But Shining,” one of seven gorgeously remastered tracks on the re-release of Sic Lvceat Lvx, the debut album from forward-thinking black metallers Schammasch.
Here’s the lowdown from vocalist C.S.R.
Six years have passed since me and B.A. (drums) met in our old rehearsal room to discuss a new project. After the first few rehearsals in summer 2009, SCHAMMASCH was born. Yet without any kind of clear vision or line, but a strong will, we started to work on two songs which would later bear the titles ‘Chaos Reigns’ and the metaphoric ‘He Whose Face Is Made of Entrails.’ Later that year, M.A. (guitars) joined us as a session member. It took us one year of chaotic, fevered work to finish the seven tracks for ‘Sic Lvceat Lvx,’ which were first released in October 2010.
Now, five years later, many things have changed and I somehow didn’t ever expect to talk about a reissue someday. So what else can I say, than just that it’s making me proud to announce the reissue of ‘Sic Lvceat Lvx,’ in a brand new outfit and finally available on vinyl, through a label that actually does stuff on a professional level. Hopefully this album gets its deserved attention at last in 2015. No high-polished production and no technical perfectionism can be found here, but rather simple-hearted rawness, experimental songwriting and charming honesty.
