Ba Da Bing Records has a history of releasing Natural Snow Buildings records of epic length. The Snowbringer Cult is a two-and-a-half hour album we reissued. Night Coercion Into The Company Of Witches is a three-hour album we reissued. Daughter of Darkness is an eight-hour album we reissued. And now, we present the most epic of all Natural Snow Buildings releases, the new album Terror’s Horns which almost reaches an astounding 45 minutes in length! Yes, in the world of NSB, the length of Terror’s Horns makes it arguably a single, but here is an album which encompasses all that makes this band great in doses that won’t cause you to fear you’re being hypnotized or in need of hydration.
It would be a stretch to call this Mehdi Ameziane and Solange Gularte’s pop record, for Terror’s Horns continues in the duo’s tradition of combining many layers into sometimes blissful, sometimes contemplative, often menacing conditions. Stringed instruments trill, percussion gongs, feedback hisses and vocals maintain near monotone as if in a cultish trance. The songs still pride themselves on a slow development, and the album’s progression lends the impression of descending down through the depths, past hidden cavities and chambers that you will never unsee once experienced.
You can pre-order the album now, along with a special bonus, courtesy of the band. For those who mailorder and choose the Special Edition, you will additionally get a completely different record entitled The Ladder which, in classic Natural Snow Buildings form, is limited to fifty handmade/drawn/constructed CDs. These are gorgeous editions with stunning artwork. Also, the first 32 of you that order will get a limited print by Solange Gularte made especially for this edition.
