The new album + a raw version of a new song online!
The new album consisting of 5 songs will be released in October or November 2008 by Epidemie Records! The new material seems like a mongrel mostly drawing infulences from 70's prog, RIO, Zeuhl and Heavy Metal in general. A raw version of a new song will be uploaded on Myspace during July.
No info about the Thergothon compilation so far. Maybe we will put our adaptation of The Twilight Fade online as release date for the compilation has not been revealed to us yet and over a year has passed since the recording sessions took place.

All the recordings have been finished after lots of swelling of nuggets, diarrhoea, unnecessary surgical operations and medical care of Benwayan proportions took place. Were the stars wrong or right in a horrifying manner? The material consisting of 4 songs of versatile nature will be mixed during the following weeks.

Added reviews in English, French, German and Russian.
The work on the new album has progressed somewhat. The drum recordings have almost been completed.

The next album will be released by
Epidemie Records probably by the end
of the summer. Expect more obscure slow metal. This time with mainly clean vocals by an additional member. Not a fifth limb, but a new singer that is. The new album will most probably focus on themes introduced to some of us by William Hope Hodgson in the brooding novel 'The House on the Borderland'. In order to achieve a suitable sound we've been recording new stuff in an abandoned house on the borderland, crafting sound into more organic and gelatinous direction, whatever that means.
Furthermore we recorded a song to celebrate the rise of the hoofmonster á la H.P. Lovecraft. This song should appear on a certain compilation, the release date of which has not been announced yet..
We have also been asked to appear on a Thergothon tribute. After arduous pondering we decided to give 'The Twilight Fade' a try. This tribute will be released by Solitude Productions.
02-Oct-2006
A song for a compilation recorded & mixed. Expect multidimensional psoriatic guitars, skeletal drums, bestial organs(?) and the sound of the hoofed breastmonster rising! Don't expect it to be released any time soon, though..
Two new reviews added and links updated.
Metalirium in Slovak &
Metal Crypt in English.

The hiatus has ended, but transformation has just begun. We
are no longer signed to Firewhatever, even though co-operation
in some form may take place in the future. Being on our own now
is part of the transformation. Other things will change as well. First of all, the sound is undergoing
changes. In our audial lab, located on the borderland between this and that
in the incestuous
plains of western Finland, we aim to forge the old artificial sounds
into something more horribly singular, curiously gelatinous, psoriatically spectral and monstrously nice.
Another aspect that has changed is the line up. A large mass of unhealthy
influences has dawned upon us. This mass, resembling a swine thing shall
take over the vocalismus. It seems likely that much of the petty grunts shall
be diminished. Way for something unacceptable and unpopular is to be paved in this manner. We
aim at becoming even more unpopular than we currently are!
Part of this campaign for unpopularity is that we accept PayPal payments from now on for
whatever rubbish we have for sale on the merchandise section of the site. A myspace site has been
launched as well at www.myspace.com/umbranihil,
but only one song is available at the moment. More material will be added later on.
