"It's been a long time in the making. Ever since Great Falls was called Hemingway in fact but this excellent 3 song epic release is finally seeing the light of day. Two tracks from the elusive A Death Cinematic made up of beautiful guitar drones and improvisations. These tracks conjure a sprawling soundscape that is unique and focused. The Great Falls track is all destruction. Guitar, bass and drums plow through while Ajax Storm Wood, of Ardent Vein, adds a cacophony of vocal and noise obliteration. Beautiful photography by Simple Box Construction and illustrations by Demian Johnston." - dead accents

"This split release brings together two of the more underrated names working in drone. UK artists, Ekca Liena create dark, slowly unfolding, ambient landscapes that build in intensity over the three tracks on this disc. A Death Cinematic take a different approach, the layerered guitars swirl around each other like a hypnotic, slow-motion whirlwind. The two styles complement each other quite well." - small doses

"Sprawled across two discs and packaged in a beautifully crafted DIY box, the 11 movements on ‘A Parable….’ shift slowly and strategically between lushly textured post-rock compositions, that are steeped in an apocalyptic atmosphere, and discordant drone symphonics whilst all-the-time wringing out that ultra emotive ray of hope. The fusion of these post-rock melodics and fuzzy drones are composed with aplomb and are designed to squeeze out every last drop of emotive audio-melancholy possible. Occasionally, on tracks such as ‘When I leave….’ and ‘Knives At My Brain…’, ADC breaks into bouts of perpetuating fuzz-laden skree which is reminiscent of the hypnotic bob and sway of Skullflower, Vibracathedral Orchestra or Ashtray Navigations. Most of the time however this skuzz sound is integrated amongst cleaner and more focused melodies that form into epic soundscapes which crystallise the very fabric of emotion that is portrayed by pre-apocalyptic fear and post-apocalyptic mourning.

"Two projects that complement each in all levels of the ambient & drone genre. A Death Cinematic begins the split with a foundation of guitar experimentalism and drone soundscapes. Departing emotions of crushing overtones and organic textures. Unrelenting discords of layering, delicate but abrasive experimentation with feedback and sound structure. Taking the listener on a ride through a bizarre and yet beautiful time of chaos. Beyond The Black Ocean follows suit with a timelessness of space ambient drift. A cosmic travel of storytelling with floating melodies, soundscape horizons, and alien atmospherics. Beyond The Black Ocean approaches with a subtle yet creeping natural texture. Utilizing factors of sampling and layering the monumental outcome is “ah” inspiring." - witchhouse records
