UADA - US
SINCE THEIR FORMATION IN 2014, UADA'S RISE HAS BEEN METEORIC. HAILING FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, THE BAND QUIETLY RELEASED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM, DEVOID OF LIGHT, IN 2016 THROUGH EISENWALD, AND WORD OF MOUTH QUICKLY BUILT FROM THERE: HERE WAS BLACK METAL WRIT LARGE, CLASSIC AND UNCOMPROMISING BUT BRIMMING WITH POWER, SOUL, AND ARTISTRY, AND ALL WITHOUT BLUSTER AND BATHOS. UADA'S DEBUT ALBUM SURELY EXPANDED THE LEXICON OF THE MELODIC BLACK METAL IDIOM, AND THE UNDERGROUND TOOK NOTICE. TWO YEARS LATER CAME CULT OF A DYING SUN, WHEREBY THE BAND FURTHER PERFECTED THEIR CRAFT AND COMPELLINGLY TOOK TO THE STAGE, THEIR PERFORMANCES GARNERING AS MUCH ACCLAIM AS THEIR RECORDINGS. DURING ALL THIS, MORE THAN THE UNDERGROUND STARTED TO TAKE NOTICE; THE NAME UADA WAS ON THE TONGUES OF FOLKS USUALLY RETICENT TO BLACK METAL.
NOW, ALMOST EFFORTLESSLY, UADA FULLY PERFECT THEIR CRAFT AND DELIVER THEIR MASTERWORK: DJINN. SIMPLY TITLED BUT BY NO MEANS SIMPLE IN CONSTRUCTION NOR EXECUTION, DJINN BUILDS UPON THE INCREASINGLY AMBITIOUS SONGWRITING OF ITS NO-LESS-CONSIDERABLE PREDECESSOR, BUT PUSHES THEIR DAZZLING ARTISTRY INTO NEARLY TECHNICOLOR LANDSCAPES OF THE BEYOND. UPON THE FIRST OPENING NOTES, THIS BOUNDLESS ARTISTRY IS FELT: BIG, ROLLING RHYTHMS REMINISCENT OF POST-PUNK, TANTALIZINGLY SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE SPLENDOROUS EXPANSES TO FOLLOW. THERE'S A CERTAIN MAGICK AT PLAY HERE, NO DOUBT BOLSTERED BY THE BAND'S RHYTHM SECTION OF JOSIAH BABCOCK (WHO PUTS IN HIS FINAL PERFORMANCE HERE) AND NEW BASSIST NATE VERSCHOOR, ERSTWHILE MAINMAN OF VEILED; THIS THROTTLING-YET-DEFT FOUNDATION BOTH LEADS AND PLAYS ACUTE COUNTERPOINT TO THE SPIRALING, WINDSWEPT RIFFING OF FOUNDERS JAKE SUPERCHI (ALSO VOCALS) AND JAMES SLOAN, THEIR GUITAR WORK TRANSCENDING THE POIGNANCY OF PRIOR WORKS. AND INDEED, DJINN'S GENEROUS SIX-SONG/HOUR-LONG RUNTIME NO DOUBT ALLOWS THE LISTENER THE ULTIMATE FREEDOM TO ROAM WITHIN UADA'S EVER-UNIQUE WORLD, SPANNING BOTH SMOTHERING SPEED AND DELIRIOUSLY DREAM-LIKE STATES, VERY METAL URGENCY AND TEXTURAL EXPLORATION ALIKE - PUT SIMPLY, THE BAND AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR CREATIVE POWERS. DJIIN IS TRULY ITS OWN REALM OF EXPERIENCE.

GHOST BATH - US
GHOST BATH REFERS TO THE ACT OF COMMITTING SUICIDE BY SUBMERGING IN A BODY OF WATER.
THEY JOURNEY THROUGH THE SORROW AND SADNESS THAT ALL LIVES EXPERIENCE WHILE LEAVING A GLIMMER OF HOPE. THEY PORTRAY BOTH DEEP ANGUISH AND ANGELIC SOUNDSCAPES THAT MELD DEPRESSION AND JOY IN PERFECT HARMONY.
THE BAND STARTED IN OCTOBER OF 2013 WITH THE RELEASE OF THEIR SELF-TITLED EP ON SOLITUDE PRODUCTIONS (CHINA). THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THEIR DEBUT LP TITLED, "FUNERAL," WHICH WAS RELEASED ON PEST PRODUCTIONS (CHINA) IN JUNE OF 2014. THE BAND'S HIGHLY ACCLAIMED "MOONLOVER" WAS RELEASED ON NORTHERN SILENCE PRODUCTIONS(GERMANY) IN 2015.THE BAND WAS THEN SIGNED BY NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS, THROUGH WHICH THEY RELEASED A TRILOGY OF ALBUMS; MOONLOVER, STARMOURNER, AND SELF LOATHER.

CLOAK - US
THE INDIVIDUAL HAS ALWAYS HAD TO STRUGGLE TO KEEP FROM BEING OVERWHELMED BY THE TRIBE. IF YOU TRY IT, YOU WILL BE LONELY OFTEN, AND SOMETIMES FRIGHTENED. BUT NO PRICE IS TOO HIGH TO PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF OWNING YOURSELF." - RUDYARD KIPLING
IN AN ERA THAT IS DESIGNED TO BEAT DOWN AND WEAKEN THE INDIVIDUAL, BLACK FLAME ETERNAL IS AN ALBUM THAT REPRESENTS STRENGTH, EMPOWERMENT, AND TOTAL OPPOSITION. WITH MOUNTING PRESSURE TO ENGAGE IN MODERN SOCIETAL TRIBALISM, CLOAK INVOKES A SPIRITUAL REBELLION THAT EXISTS BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL WITH ALBUM NUMBER THREE.
