Nowy krążek Bašmu w sierpniu

Today, Lunar Apparitions, a division of Nebular Carcoma, announces August 6th as the international release date for Bašmu's haunting second album, VVitchblood, on CD format.

Bašmu is the sole domain of the mysterious Xülthysy, who's also insanely prolific across other such projects as Flešš - with whom LUNAR APPARITIONS reissued their debut album and demo on separate A5 digipack editions last year - Chaoist, Drenglyndr, and Girtablullû. Although all but Chaoist are some iteration of black metal, with Bašmu does Xülthysy explore the shimmering shadowself of the most rotten, mildewed depths of the ancient '90s black metal underground - back when traditional witchcraft, vampirism, blood rites, self-hatred, and generally antisocial behavior were all mandatory. Taken another way, if Flešš is comparable to Belkètre, then Bašmu most definitely would be comparable to Moëvöt.

In the meantime, hear the track "The Crooked Wand of the Ophidian Craft" HERE at Nebular Carcoma's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
