Saturnine December, by Antecantamentum

Saturnine December

by Antecantamentum

supported by

starvynth "The biggest highlight of the record, for me, is 'Luna Cadens', one that gives me early/mid-Opeth vibes when a gloomy guitar melody sings out above a double bass roll and atmo-black background, and which subsequently features frenetic yet serene atmospheres, delicat acoustic guitar passages, dreamy blackgaze, and a poignant, sorrowful climactic motif."

about

Atmospheric. Melodic. Crushing riffs and blast beats. Reminiscent of early Krallice and the epic soundscapes of Deadly Carnage. A project from California, Melpomenë performs most of the material herself. She says, “This is an album of contradictions, harsh dissonance and beautiful harmony, utter nihilism and affirming fervor, of finality and immorality.”

Recorded at many places in Paramount, Cerritos, and Long Beach, California. Written mainly between 2016 and 2022, with parts dating back to 2006.

Melpomenë - Guitar, bass, vocals, field recordings, virtual instrument programming, lyrics, production, mixing, mastering, design

Featuring:
Iōhannēs - Fretless bass solo on “Wraith”, bass on “Saturnine December”, intro vocals on “Luna Cadens”
Kakophonix - Cello on “Saturnine December”
