Shining, Fading, Burning, Flickering

by The Eternal Returns

supported by

Guillaume P. Trépanier There are so many surprises and unexpected turns in this album. I like when artists give themselves the freedom to do everything and to lead the listener where it pleases them. Favorite track: The Anthem.

Lion Trail A 4 part sonic journey, like a daydream or a fever. full of different textures, sounds, noises and rhythms.
An absolute immersive experience meant to be taken as a whole, only then its brilliance is revealed. Favorite track: Second Sun Society.

Ether Diver Deep and varied musical journey through strange lands. Timbrally fascinating, musically stimulating and full of surprising turns. Favorite track: Second Sun Society.

sjöhäxan A visceral blend of genres, Shining, Fading, Burning, Flickering captures a glimpse into a fever dream of atmospheres, brimming with noise and textures that will keep a listener at the edge of their seat. Although each section of this album are distinct and unique in their own way, there is an overarching theme that makes it hard to pause or step away, lest you miss a piece of this gorgeous vision. Favorite track: The Great Circle in an Empty Room.

Balin The atmosphere on this release is fantastic, like a never ending dream. I hear a lot of musical influences on this record that really please the compositions perfectly....fantastic work of art! A story to be told! Favorite track: The Great Circle in an Empty Room.

emanuele127 An increasingly abrasive crossbreed of Victorian nightmares and industrial noises, this wonderfully complex album keeps listeners on their toes and wondering what will come next. The narrative hinted at by the music and the titles of the songs is evocative and the composition is superb. A well-planned and executed masterpiece. Favorite track: False Rebirth I: Sky Burial.
