Dragon Spell "Mountain Rehearsal 6​/​16​/​22" Cassette

Pro-tape, made in Canada, blank transparent pink shells, hand-printed and folded inserts direct from Myst.

This is an AMR edition of the Dragon Spell tape, limited to 100 copies, with inserts printed and folded by Myst and sent to AMR. Pro-tapes duplicated in Canada.

Here is presented a rehearsal demo tape taken from the inimitable Coniferous Myst's prestigious grimoire. Accept no pastiche, here is dark dungeon noise tapped straight from the infernal source. 'Dragon Spell' provides a vigorous statement of intent from one of the scene's most conceptual artists. Program repeats on both sides.
Recorded in a single take with no post processing. One track recorded right after the next with every single mistake and background sound left in for the authenticity. Recorded directly to a tape recorder during the quiet hours of June 16th 2022.

The snow lays pure and untouched across the hills and in stark contrast to the black forest ahead. No birds are singing, there is no sound at all to be heard, save the gentle, swaying rhythm of skeletal branches in the biting wind. Here, nature is brutal and those creatures that survive this cruel winter will be few.
This tape contains highly atmospheric and dramatic music from Sweden but is only loosely fitting of the dark ambient sub-genre; 'winter synth'. Utilising an Alesis SR16 drum machine, Winter Sphere provides two tracks which are as progressive as they are inhospitable. Proficiently oblique, these pagan dirges stir the blood and rouse the spirit of the earth.
