Semi-transparent turquoise vinyl. Cover art with old-gold highlighting.
Comes with a full colour booklet taking the listener on a journey through the visual world of The Black Hours. Inspired by a medieval devotional 'book of hours' of the same name, an intimate hand crafted manuscript marking The Liturgy of the Hours, or The Office of the Dead - prayers to take a soul in need from from dusk to dawn, and through the darkest of nights.
Richly illustrated around a series of 'miniatures' - highly symbolic diorama-style band portraits, potent with secret messages and hidden meanings. The sequence of three images firstly show a pre-pandemic DSCM, moving to lockdown, and emerging into the strange and unsettling world we currently find ourselves in.
Full colour, with detailed mixed media artwork (hand-drawings, collage and photography) throughout, printed on matt finish thick paper. Luxury 'softened leather-feel' textured cover. 12 pages.
Co-released by Dead Space Chamber Music & Avon Terror Corps

about
Bryd one Brere (Bird on a Briar) - The earliest surviving English love song with lyrics in middle english, dated c. 1290–1320
lyrics
Bryd one brere, brid, brid one brere,
Kynd is come of love, love to crave
Blythful biryd, on me thu rewe
Or greyth, lef, greith thu me my grave
Hic am so blithe, so bryhit, brid on brere,
Quan I se that hende in halle:
Yhe is whit of lime, loveli, trewe
Yhe is fayr and flur of alle
Mikte ic hire at wille haven,
Stedefast of love, loveli, trewe,
Of mi sorwe yhe may me saven
Ioye and blisse were were me newe
Translation
Bird on a briar, bird, bird on a briar
We are born of love, love to crave
Blissful bird, on me have pity
Or dig, love, dig thou for me my grave
I am so blithe, so bright, bird on briar
When I see that handmaid in the hall
She is pale of limb, lovely, true
She is fair and flower of all
Might I her at my will have
Steadfast of love, love so true
From my sorrow she may me save
Joy and bliss would wear me new (renew me)
A stunning live performer, every release from this innovative cellist charts another step in a fascinating sonic journey. Powerful, tender and masterful playing, and top notch composition. Dead Space Chamber Music
Sinister, abrasive and haunted circuitry. Creeping textures, tense harmonies and unrelenting rhythms to soundtrack the horror film playing endlessly somewhere in your unconscious... Dead Space Chamber Music
First class synth song-craft. Acknowledges the influences and tradition whilst carrying things forward. Great balance of melodic vocal work, blasts of icy synth and a bit of industrial grit and edge. Dead Space Chamber Music
