Today we are very pleased to announce our collaboration with US underground printer Holy Mountain Printing, who will handle our merchandise offer throughout the American/Canadian territory from now on, which means a lot less heavy shipping costs and delivery times for these areas.
We are working on expanding the offer by adding cd’s, lp’s and patches in due time as well. We hope you’ll enjoy these new options.
We will be spreading our word across Europe alongside Batushka & Trepaneringsritualen in January 2018.
Only three days left until “Hermaphrodite” will be officially released, prior to that Metal Hammer UK are streaming the record in full exclusively now, alongside a short but interesting talk between Subterranea Mag veteran Jonathan Selzer and C.S.R:
Order “Hermaphrodite”
With last year’s release of Triangle the numerological trilogy I – II – III has been closed. Different territories are about to be explored in the future, beginning with the first work of a series of records entitled “The Maldoror Chants”. As the title clearly tells, the concept of those records is based on the grand novel “Les Chants de Maldoror”, one of surrealism’s dire fathers and up to this day one of the biggest literary mysteries and outgrowths. Having been an inspiration to Schammasch ever since Contradiction, the times have come to give this inspiration the room it deserves. Each record will follow one specific moment of the book, the first one being “Hermaphrodite”, a short story which appears aside the main story line in the book’s first half.
From a musical point of view these records are to be seen as an artistic experiment, apparently deriving from a different place than what we’ve done so far. Focus lies on telling instead of singing, atmosphere instead of technique, flow instead of structure. Don’t expect anything but explore everything.
“The Maldoror Chants: Hermaphrodite” will be released on the 9th of June, available in various pre-sale formats now.
C.S.R’s SAROS Collective is an artistic project based on the ideas & beliefs behind Schammasch, which is a good enough reason to have added the Collective’s SAROS Clothing line to our web store’s range.
