[IF-33] Aghast Manor – Penetrate

As Andrea explains: ” Penetrate is in a way for me a journey through the typical clandestine stereotypes of different European countries, like the songs ’Fleur De Marie’ and ’Today Is My Day’ with atmospheres of Paris’ shady cabarets and colourful harlots. Or songs like ’Asylum ’45’ and ’Worship Me’ with images of Dominas, German asylums and wicked wardens, or the mighty ’The Venice Murder’ which is supposed to invoke images of Venice gloom, phantoms and poisoners, or the bizarre song ’Spy On The Wall’ which reminds me of a James Bond movie with all the creepy Eastern spies jumping from behind doors… Aghast Manor has a lot of ’Galgenhumor’ and I want the music to be there for everybody who likes to enjoy a little strange and haunting experience…it’s best enjoyed alone at night!”

[IF-18 / EPP-19] Aghast Manor – Gaslights

Aghast Manor is a new creation of Andrea Nebel who after making dark movie soundtracks also successfully introduced her old Aghast songs to actors and filmdirectors such as Scott Derrickson and David Lynch, thus inspiring her to do a full album with dark tracks again… Aghast Manor is inviting you to haunting darkness and decadent visions, providing perfect soundtracks for dark disturbing atmospheres. With a blend of sinister ambient and classical tunes the first album ‘Gaslights’ is giving you images of industrial lunacies, victorian visions of opium smokes and dark poetry, femme fatales, Jack the Ripper and Lovecraftian occult experiences … Travis Ryan from Cattle Decapitation has submitted a song called ‘Suck My Drain’, vividly describing the atmospheres within slaughterhouses and other death camps. Aghast Manor’s Gaslights must be enjoyed at night, either in darkness or with candle light.
