Silver vinyl with gatefold cover and insert. Limited 200copies

The men behind Sun Of The Sleepless and Cavernous Gate are nostrangers to split releases; in fact, they played in Nachtmahr andHelrunar respectively in 2005 on a joint EP. 14 years later now,one – Schwadorf of Empyrium, The Vision Bleak and Noekk – continueson the path Sun Of The Sleepless carved with To The Elements in2017, whereas the other – Helrunar co-founder and drummer S.K. –goes into a wholly new venture with Cavernous Gate. For Sun Of TheSleepless, teaming up with a long-time friend, who also playsguitar at the group’s shows, suggested itself. We make a goodmatch, explains Schwadorf. Each of us is a multi-instrumentalistwith deep roots in the 1990s but also open to fresh inspiration.His contribution, a song cycle titled The Lure Of Nyght, deepensthe concept of Poetic Black Metal Dirges, the group’s raison d’êtresince its foundation in 1998. While the lyrics are, in part,literal translations from German Expressionist and Romantic works,the band leader even sees the tracks as a continuation ofEmpyrium’s classic Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields, being equallyimpetuous and evocative – a valid description of Cavernous Gate’sdoom death as well. “I wanted to create otherworldly, ghostly,soundtrack-like music without clinging to just one style, says S.K.about his solo project. It came together intuitively from differentareas, also what’s called dungeon synth these days. Regarding thelyrical content, S.K. keeps his cards close to his chest, but thename Cavernous Gate is telling enough, meaning a gate into unknownrealms, dark and forlorn. Similar to Schwadorf, he audibly drawsfrom the likes of early Ulver, Emperor or Katatonia.
