They now have a new album on the way by the name of Into the Light, and two days ago they began streaming one of the new tracks, “Void Silence”. I first encountered this Lithuanian/Dutch melodic death metal band in May 2013 through a piece Andy Synn wrote that included one of their songs, and then encountered them again when Andy’s band Beyond Grace supported them on a UK tour last fall. The music exerts an otherworldly magnetism that’s powerful, even when it collapses into a hopeless stagger at the end of “The Rose and the Cross”. There is an unholy, unhinged atmosphere to the songs, magnified by strange lead guitar scales and dervish-like soloing, channel-shifting guitar shrieking, and the throaty, impassioned, ritualistic proclamations of the vocalist. The music is mainly a rampaging storm of dissonant tremolo riffs, rippling bass notes, and maniacal, off-the-hook drumming. Both are long pieces, in the seven-and-a-half minute range, and both are very good. In recent days, two songs from the album have been made available for streaming - “Blood Royale” and “The Rose and the Cross”. It’s currently projected for release on December 6, 2014, in a variety of formats by Lamech Records, Terratur Possessions, and Amor Fati Productions. They have completed recording a fifth full-length album, entitled Ain Soph Aur. The band are originally from Puerto Varas, Chile, but are now located in Sweden. I first came across Hetroertzen last May when I impulsively decided to explore (and write about) some of the releases by an underground Swedish label named Lamech Records. This collection is a bit different from the usual “Seen and Heard” because it includes a couple of items at the end that aren’t new - I’ve just been really drag-ass in bringing them to your attention. The fire continues to be under investigation by the Vandalia Fire Department.I intended to finish this collection and post it yesterday, making it Part 3 of a big Wednesday round-up of news and new music, but the old fucking day job interfered, and so I’m beginning our Thursday with it. The State Fire Marshal provided support and guidance to Vandalia Fire Department’s new investigator and cleared the scene, Ellinger said. The State Fire Marshal’s Fire and Explosion Investigation Bureau opened an investigation into the fire but has since closed their case, according to Andy Ellinger, Public Information Officer for the Ohio Department of Commerce. “The fire alarm system that we helped them put into place here was key in making sure that this building wasn’t a complete loss, and that nobody lost their life tonight,” Follick said. > PHOTOS: Multiple departments respond to fire at Super 8 Motel in Vandalia “Police were there constantly.”įollick said that his crews responded quickly, thanks to the upgrades his department helped install. “The past history was terrible,” said Debbie Cooper, whose family also lives just over the fence from the Super 8.
