Bloody white out in NC

Can you believe that there is an abandoned castle in Asheville NC?!? If you want to see it, you have to go the the Grove Park Resort. Reminds me of the Borley Rectory, at least in my mind. I took this picture the other day. I should of waited till dusk to REALLY capture the vibe this castle gives off. All the stone came from Ireland. Check it out if you are ever in the area.

Some Jabladav updates: "The Cold Warmth" will be hitting the stores(Static Age,Aquarius,TheEnd etc, This month. Tracks that didn't fit the vibe of "Atta Vinter".

The follow up to "Atta Vinter" will be titled "Ayr". I just listened to the record from start to finish and didn't realize that there is more classical guitar in the mixes than I have ever used. The vibe is also more down-beats. The blast beats are still there, just a darker record mood wise.

I have a few copies of "Communion with Mother and Machine".

WHY NO POSTS?!

I owe all a huge apology for  the lack of updates and uploads. My brotha at Cosmic Hearse makes it look so easy and I have no idea how he fits what he does in a single day. Allot is happening in the Jabladav recordings. "The Cold Warmth" is set to hit the stores. The release is tracks that didn't make the cut on "Atta Vinter". The goal was to make "Atta Vinter" a classic album. No fat and no filler. I think I have come close. There are some great tracks on "The Cold Warmth" that just didn't fit the vibe of "Atta Vinter". 

There will also be a split 7" with Shadow of the Destroyer that will come out in late fall with exclusive tracks that will only be released on the 7". 

I am also working on a 30 minute drone for WFMU that will be recorded for the station. Steve Wilson inspired drone. 

Other than that I'm doing nothing. 

Thanks for checking in. I promise I will make this site worth checking into soon.

Their post on "Communion" 

JABLADAV Communion With Mother & Machine (self released) cd-r 8.98 
Latest from our favorite one man, Weakling by way of Black Flag styled black metal band, but don't be expecting any gnarled black blasts or pounding frenzied freakouts, Communion With Mother & Machine falls more in line with any of the various Jabaldav ambient records, but is notable for being created using mostly Buddha Machines and Black Boxes. A slow burning sonic collage, a blackened sprawling composition, that takes those prerecorded loops, as well as the process of switching from loop to loop (including any clicks or buzzes), and weaves them into a lush, densely layered dronescape, along with samples of other Jabladav recordings, field recordings of nature at night, Mellotrons, as well as some effects and feedback, the process is detailed in the liner notes, a simple technique of setting up the boxes in a circle around the microphone, with a particular box manually moved closer to increase its volume / presence, the colors of the Buddha Machines used are detailed as well (1 red, 1 orange, 1 white and 2 blue), as is the recording gear used, and various other steps of the process. And while that stuff is definitely interesting, it's the finished recording that matters, and it's incredible, a swirling, smoldering loopscape, crickets chirping over distant whirs, slowly shifting layered melodies, the glitch and grit of the tiny speakers adding more buzz and blur to the proceedings, deep melodic swells pulsing and shimmering, the loops slipping from organic and amorphous to machinelike and repetitive and back again, creaks and groans, disembodied voices, everything building to lush heaving slabs of layered density, laced with tinkling melodies, all set amidst thick clouds of muted crunch, smoothed into gorgeous expanses of blissed out lustrous mesmer. So great.
Total nirvana for dronelords, and as with all Jabalav stuff, WAY recommended, whether buzzy or beautiful, or both.

Thine Vinter,Lodona is Mine

 We are having a glorious winter here in North Carolina. 98" inches of white inspiration has fallen in my mountains. The inspiration of this winter has yielded much productivity musically . I have a ton of music to offer and will upload soon. Thank you for your understanding.
