Many years ago, Death Metal band Cadaverous Condition invited a stellar line-up of experimental artists to completely dismember, rearrange and reconstruct songs of their “To The Night Sky” album. The result: “Destroying The Night Sky” – one of the weirdest collaborative albums ever assembled. Extreme Metal melted and shaped into new ghoulish form — an experimental, surreal nightmare of sounds and outré weirdness, originally released on Klanggalerie Records on CD only.
Now for the first time on vinyl (marbled black smoke vinyl), featuring new and exclusive artwork by Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound), and mastered for vinyl by Michal “Neithan” Kielbasa.
The album starts with a monstrous longtrack by Thighpaulsandra (COIL, HAWKWIND, ex-SPIRITUALIZED, JULIAN COPE etc.) who arranged a plethora of sounds and vocals and weirdness, thematically mixing Cadaverous Condition ideas with his own reminiscences of an old English TV series. GJÖLL from Iceland, featuring Reptilicus personnel, go bass heavy in their soundscapes. As on the original CC song, this track features vocals by Patrick Leagas (Sixth Comm). Nurse With Wound feature here with one of the most extreme, heavy and noisy nightmarish reworks, crushing everything. Members Colin Potter and Andrew Liles (with a track not on the CD version — completely unreleased until now) add their own solo reconstructions, living up to their reputation as sound innovators. Holy McGrail (Slomo, Julian Cope collaborator) channels some drones from beyond the grave. Legendary sound artists Nocturnal Emissions mix several CC tracks into one intense piece. Bittersweet relief (maybe) comes with a cinematic neoclassical version of CC favourite “Destroy Your Life”, done by Ali Helnwein, film score and classical music composer, son of Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein.
Cover and Inlay artwork exclusively done for this release by Steven Stapleton.
LIMITED EDITION OF 230 COPIES.
