about

"The Smeared Cloth" is a double CD compilation containing the TUNNELS OF ĀH recordings from 2012-2018, which have not yet been published on any medium. The first disc is filled with compositions from the period before the debut in Cold Spring and outtakes from the sessions for "Thus Avici", the next album for the British label. The second disc contains tracks recorded during and between the sessions for "Surgical Fires" and "Charnel Transmissions". Although they were created as loose compositions, out of the concepts clearly outlined on each of the mentioned albums, they sound incredibly coherent, giving impression of being part of a concept release, this makes them a pleasure to listen to; especially when we get carried away in the world created by Stephen Ah Burroughs with the sounds characteristic of his work. Sometimes they evoke associations with ancient rituals, intensifying the impression of Egyptian darkness, the feeling of coldness and emptiness coming as if from a deep dungeon, and with them an echo. All this is a superstructure for the 21 tracks filling both discs, outlined and maintained, in a convention that allows them to be stylistically located somewhere between isolating dark ambient and death industrial, where the gloom aura and dense, mechanical structures coexist as if in symbiosis, thanks to which the balance between building the atmosphere and reflecting the true nature of the industrial collision. This release is undoubtedly a must-have for TOĀH fans, but it can also delight those who appreciate death industrial at a high level. The album's released on two CDs folded in a six-panel ecopack.

Warning alarms sound their forlorn shrill as unanswered echoes down cavernous bone cavities. Bill Burroughs massages cancer-growth typewriters until they sprout dispatches from Interzone. Footsteps echo down abandoned hospital corridors. Vast factories sizzle with electrical invokkations and the alchemy of bulbous flesh… These are bio-mechanical rituals for both the psyche and the sentient diodes that clamp into your body at night.

"An excellent compilation, the songs are subtle and carry a void of mystery, longing, and somehow hope. The alleys of the old city. The tinkle of snow under my boots and the beloved company of my little bottle of absinthe. My nights, long nights, cold nights, my land. That's what this compilation represents for me, remembrance and nostalgia." ~FF Felin Frost
