Curiously it is studio-live rehearsal for live show, dating back to 2003! One can't blame them for utmost careful post-production. Not that one would expect suffocated blurry stuff, but it is so high fidelity of all electronics, effects and multi-layered elements that there isn't really feel of moist dusty dungeons. I.Corax "From gOLDem flesh to silverb ONE" CD Unfortunately no audio samples appear on Aural Hypnox page, but you can preview Halo Manash and I.Corax there. Not just cool meditations, but more primitive racket. Acoustic percussions with kind of elevated level of frenzy. Unlike vast amount of "ritual music" with ghastly echoes and gloomy keyboard tones, this is much more what things should sound like. Boasting a raw but good, clear sound, ‘INLL’ remains unaltered save for the mastering done in 2013 at Katajan Kaiku studio. Instead of songs, it is divided into different ‘movements’ or phases: it resembles a field recording of some obscure ceremony from a far-off corner of the world. ‘Ikuisuus näkyy luiden läpi’ is enthusiastic, youthfully vigorous and decidedly ominous ritual music with a total running time of 31:53.

The album retains the original title of the sessions: ‘Ikuisuus näkyy luiden läpi’, Finnish for ‘Eternity Shines Through the Bones’, and for purposes of this release the group is named simply ARKTAU AON. This unknown chapter in the evolution of the classic Finnish ritual sound originates from sessions held in May 2005, when Arktau Eos was still unnamed, beginning work on their seminal opus ‘Mirrorion’ and Zoät-Aon had just released the equally influential ‘Star Autopsy’ CD. Thought lost and subsequently forgotten, a complete album by AIH & AIL of ARKTAU EOS and JKV of ZOÄT-AON was recently rediscovered. (Although FA has now couple copies of couple releases.) Due small editions, I suspect label intends to distribute most stuff by themselves and most likely don't do any trading, so I'd expect getting these releases one has to order directly. In fine tradition of Aural Hypnox, they keep design elegant and now silk screen most things by themselves. Especially final track of "Cella Phantasma" is epic sonic journey! While there is some clear clumsiness and perhaps less noble touch of time with some sounds, it has very different charm & atmosphere than a lot of computer general ambient & "ritual" muzak these days. These were the times when I personally heard project for the first time and one track ended up to "DEGENERATING FINLAND" CD compilation. In fact, dates back to 1999, very early sessions of I.Corax. I.Corax appears clearly as older material. Got to grab Halo Manash before it gets sold out.

Luckily they have abandoned CDR editions known from past of this series, and now stuff is released as small edition pressed CD and tape for analogue fanatics. "Underworld Editions presents rough and unusual glimpses to the hidden past and special manifestations of the present."
