 (1 Customer Review)
Two years after their big breakthrough, ENTHRONE DARKNESS TRIUMPHANT, Norwegian symphonic black metallers Dimmu Borgir released the even more innovative SPIRITUAL BLACK DIMENSIONS. With a new keyboardist and lead guitarist in tow, they've enhanced their atmospheric side to the extent where blitzkriegs like "United in Unhallowed Grace" feature crushing guitars glazed with chilly synths and glittering keys. Opener "Reptile" rushes by like the freezing North wind and the monstrous album closer, "Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria," milks the drama with extended hazy passages broken up with powerful, menacing riffs.
Dimmu Borgir: Shagrath (vocals); Silenoz, Astennu (guitar); Mustis (synthesizer); Nagash (bass); Tjodalv (drums).
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.CMJ (3/29/99, p.29) - "...an album of completely unadulterated symphonic black metal....Metal melodrama at its finest!"

As always, frontman Chad Kroeger's gritty voice remains Nickelback's calling card, and his emotive singing carries every tune, most notably the nostalgic "Photograph" and "Far Away," a tender, echo-laden ballad. Kroger has never met a guitar effect that he didn't like, as evidenced by the revved-up "Next Contestant," which relates the, ahem, difficulties of having a beautiful girlfriend. ...
| | Friday At The Hideout: Boss Detroit Garage Vinyl LP (2001)
Spiritual Black Dimensions music CDs
 $14.89
To most folks, the phrase Detroit rock & roll either means the high-energy overdrive of MC5, the Stooges, and the Amboy Dukes, or the no-nonsense working-class rock of Bob Seger and Mitch Ryder. But before those acts established themselves in the public eye, the Motor City already had a thriving garage rock scene in the early to mid-'60s, and one of the real movers and shakers in pre-psychedelic Detroit rock was Dave Leone, who ran The Hideout, Detroit's leading teen dance club, and later branched out with his own record label, Hideout Records. Friday at the Hideout collects 21 highlights (18 on LP) from the Hideout catalog, and while legal problems prevented the inclusion of any of the six sides a young Bob Seger cut for Leone (among them the anti-draft-dodging classic "The Ballad of the Yellow Beret"), this is still a top-shelf collection of quality Midwest stomp, and at least two other names destined for bigger things pop up. Teenaged Glen Frey played with two different Hideout acts, the Byrds-centric the Four of Us and moody popsters the Mushrooms, both of whom are in fine form here (the former do a great version of " "Feel a Whole Lot Better," while the latter score with "Burned"), and future glam goddess and Happy Days regular Suzi Quatro's early band, the Pleasure Seekers, are on hand with their near-legendary paean to the joys of teenage beer-swilling, "What a Way to Die." Elsewhere, you get some quality frat rock with attitude from Doug Brown and the Omens (including "Youth and Experience," perhaps the only great garage rock tune written to endorse a candidate for the U.S. Senate), some fine guitar mauling from the Henchmen (no relation to the similarly named Detroit band of the '90s), five cuts from scene stalwarts the Underdogs (including "Man in the ...
| | Grails Burning Off Impurities Vinyl LP (2007)
Spiritual Black Dimensions songs
$18.39
When the Grails released the compendium of their Black Tar Prophecies EPs in a single-CD volume -- two had previously been issued on vinyl only, the third was released only as part of the collection -- they found themselves exploring new and varied sonic territory. They moved away from the early post-rock schematics that had landed them in a seemingly inescapable sonic furrow. Black Tar Prophecies was their strongest recording to date. Hot on its heels, just months later, comes this behemoth of swirling, free-floating, mysterious psychedelia but it certainly doesn't end there. Elements of Eastern modal folk music, improvisational and African polyrythms, ambient soundscapes and layered textures of various "other" instruments such as guest Dylan Rice-Leary's harmonica, Cory Gray's baritone horn, and Kate O'Brien's violin add to the free-for-all while the Grails contribute enough of their own strangeness. Skin man and main keyboardist Emil Amos (who worked with Jandek as a drummer for a minute and became half of the Om duo) also plays melodica, guitarist Zak Riles -- who is part of M. Ward's band as well -- plays oud, banjo and pedal steel, bassist William Slater also plays keys (Rhodes, harpsichord), and guitarist Alex J. Hall does all the sampling. While the opener "Soft Temple" begins in a subtle enough way with throbbing bass and deep, hollow sounding drums to go along with variously stringed things, it slides into a rather minor-key slither and drone underscored by a piano playing spare lines as a "melody" though it's all mode.
It's dreamy in a rather sinister way, but drifts and moves along nicely, especially as the electric guitars enter, though they never approach din, preferring to allow the drones and Indian raga melodies speak for themselves until they reach psych mass. By "Silk Road," the third of these eight cuts, folk forms not only underscore the proceedings but inform them directly and are eventually injected with freak-outs that never quite overwhelm their rather loosely attenuated forms. Dynamics, texture and plenty of echo frame these proceedings. Melodies begin to assert themselves from the gloom only to morph into others, even more skeletal. Percussion drops in and leaves unannounced, though because of the employments of very distinctive drones, they never seem out of place and can ratchet up tempo as well as bring it down to a crawl in a very short time. There are so many change sin this piece it feels impossible to document them all. Yet the listener is never overcome by the shifts and maze-like constructs. They all seem to float, ...

Spiritual Black Dimensions CD music
$10.29
Emo-core darlings Rainer Maria stay close to heartache and dogmatic independence on their third full-length, A Better Version of Me. Sincerely endearing thanks to the band's passion for poetry and romanticism, classic visceral lyrics are clearly depicted, harmonic story lines picking things up where their critically received sophomore effort Look Now Look Again left off five years prior.
Caithlin De Marrais' graceful, yet abrasive vocals craft the dynamic of the band: well-directed musicianship without the frills of overproduced punk-inspired anthems. ...
