We're proud and honored to present you with tape reissue and first ever vinyl release of
ROTTING SKY's 2014 long lost and absolute magnum opus -
Sedation - a colossal and swarming masterpiece of obsidian black droney industrial black noise.
T. Messing (guitarist of crust punk legends
Nux Vomica)
brings you this mind-shattering and incredibly introspective solo work,
incarnated into one of the most accomplished, devastating, and
visionary masterpieces to have been conceived within the realm of black
metal and noise crossover genres in the last five-six years at least.
Originally released in 2014 as a limited run of 100 tapes by now defunct
tape label
Grimoire Cassette Cvlture -
Sedation
was one of the tail end releases for the label, with the cassette being
released close to the label's final demise and as such going nearly
completely unnoticed, as all available copies soon vanished from the
public eye with the label shutting down its online store and online
operations. Sentient Ruin however did not fail to notice this
astonishing album, and it eventually took us a good three years to track
down Messing and bring him on board for a proper (re)release.
Today
we are honored and excited to have accomplished this very heartfelt
mission, as we bring you the ultimate and final release of
Sedation,
re-mastered, and re-packaged with spectacularly wretched new artwork
done for the project by noise/industrial visionary artist
Anderson Cook,
and further enhanced by a much needed and absolutely glorious vinyl
release. An unforgettable sonic flailing that lives once again,
suspended between the realms of extreme metal, drone and noise music,
that will delight fans of atmospheric experimental extreme bands like
Sutekh Hexen, Locrian, Wraiths, Thisquietarmy, Pyramids, BLSPHM,
Darkspace, etc.
The
Sedation re-release will officially see the light on
February 9 2018,
and pre-orders for limited black or standard clear w/black haze vinyl,
digital, tapes, test cassette/pressing are now up on our
Bandcamp or
store.
CVLT Nation are now exclusively premiering the track
Tryants of Sedation calling
Sedation "something of truly blinding and wretched beauty". Check out their feature

Active
since at least 2007, and always existed withering within a shadowtorn
twilight of near non-existence, Rotting Sky is one of the most enigmatic
and ungraspabale extreme/experimental metal mysteries to have ever
materialized on American soil. Sole Rotting Sky mastermind T. Messing is
known as the guitarist of legendary epic crust punk/metal powerhouse
Nux Vomica, but it's within this solo ambient industrial black metal
endeavor of his that one can truly grasp the full extent of his
visionary and transcendental creative reach. Erected upon a monumental
maze of pedal abuse and layers upon layers of wretched static, Messing's
blackened drone comes to life as a levitating and howling chasm of
total sonic disintegration, in which the plane of existence is
disemboweled with a hideous swarm of decaying sound to reveal the
immateriality, nothingness, and emptiness that lies within all and
everything. Rotting Sky is a place where nightmares take shape and hope
is devoured. A place where sanity is a desire and suffering a fact,
where pain is boundless, and the reality of flesh becomes nothing but a
disintegrating and evaporating specter, dismembered across the cosmos,
and lost across vast distances in a fathomless, sorrowful and vacuous
void devoid of all hope.
(Press Note)
*This is some really awesome sounding experimental black metal, post metal, drone, and noise. Highly recommended! Enjoy!
