Short review…

The last four-five years, Rojinski used to be one of the most productive projects on Mater Terra. The great(est) thing was that it wasn’t just about quantity, yet above all about quality. Despite the overwhelming number of releases, each of them, without exception, was of a very high standard.

Unfortunately, due to personal issues, the human entity behind the project needed to cease activities. It was understandable; it was comparable to the reason why I stopped writing reviews for almost a year, so I am judiciously understanding.

Depart from me, ye that work iniquity…

When I recently saw a new post by the handsome UK-born Peter B., it did draw my attention immediately. I consider myself a modest ‘fan’ of some of this crazy guy’s projects, such as Carrion, Utterblight and Gold. That post I was just referring to, did pertain the album Sinner, conceived by a new project, which is called Gold Membership.

[a short review, yet about an interesting release for sure]

[since I did promise to write a review once in a while for bands and / or projects and / or artists and / or labels and / or distributors (etc.) that I do adore (personally and / or musically), I will finish this one, although it’s an older one, being released about a year and a half ago. This one is, in the first place, for my dear friend Aleksey, this one is for Jane, this one is for Juha, Ilya and Evgeny, for me and for you too!]

[since Concreteweb is not a politics-oriented site in essence (which does not mean that I can not / may not / will not express my disgust for certain ‘world leaders’ or their sociologic ideologies, or to promote certain, well, rather ‘open-minded’ and critically deep-thought theories), I will not just go into the country involved and its problems, at least when it comes to this specific review; however, I do support the people that stand up for their rights – this is for those who fight dictatorial authorities, and for those who resist and revolt against these cowardly

Just a short introduction on (1) the label, (2) the projects involved, and (3) the specific recording details, before getting over to the aural essence. Winter-Light is quite a young label from the Netherlands (with Anglo-Saxon roots); or better: it’s not such ‘new’ label anymore, yet as from a couple of years it is about to become one of the most prominent labels within the Dark Ambient / Drone (and so forth) scene. It’s run by the mostly sympathetic human being Mark O’Shea, by the way.

Sometimes I just crave for some good, honest, straight-forward Rock ‘n’ Roll, you know, the energetic, uncompromising neck-muscles-injuring stuff. Only very rarely I get aroused by new (or older) Hard Rock pur sang, yet once in a while a band can draw my attention with passion, pain and pleasure (oops, that rather sounds Emo / Goth / Ero). Anyway, here comes a swift, short, yet indispensable (haha) resume about a new yet savory new recording…

[since I did promise to write a review once in a while for ‘older’ releases by bands and / or projects and / or artists and / or labels and / or distributors (etc.) that I do adore (personally and / or musically), I will finish this older release. This one is for Stu in the first place and his Aesthetic Death hordes, this one is for all of us]
