Oneironaut Press Release:

W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the long-awaited third album of long-running black metal cult CRIMSON MOON, Oneironaut. CRIMSON MOON was established in 1994 by Scorpios Androctonus – known also for his work with Acherontas, Zemial, Demoncy, Melechesh, and Akrabu among others – as a solo project in the U.S. and relocated to Germany in 1998.

After working with different members throughout the years, 2016 reveals the long-awaited third full-length release titled Oneironaut. Four years in the making, this album has returned to the roots of the lineup and was written, performed, and recorded once again entirely by Scorpios Androctonus with additional guest appearances by members of Acherontas, Demoncy, and Ralph Santolla (ex-Deicide, Death, Obituary) on select tracks.

The aura of Oneironaut is a familiar one to previous CRIMSON MOON releases in the spirit and atmosphere, both musically and lyrically. A definite progression is also introduced in song structure and strategic use of additional instruments, including exotic instruments such as the Esraj, Frame Drums, Tanpura, Cretan Lyra, fretless acoustic bass, and innovative uses of acoustic guitars among other stringed instruments and percussion. The music of Oneironaut executes a blend of mystical, dream-like atmospheres which morph from violent and aggressive black metal synonymous with the occult atmosphere. Lyrically, the topics vary from traditional Necronomicon-inspired myths, Sumerian lore, astral projection, and lucid dreaming to content that covers homage to the old goddesses of worship, survival of the fittest/breaking the myths of equality, and spiritual transcendence.

As of 2016, CRIMSON MOON has established a new and potent full lineup which will debut its first live appearance in October of 2016, which will be the first live performance from CRIMSON MOON in nearly a decade, and the first time to perform live on European soil. More select live shows will follow and are being booked for the remainder of the year and 2017.

The new CRIMSON MOON new lineup consists of:
Scorpios Androctonus – bass and vocals
Sabnoc – guitars and backing vocals
Vual – drums and percussion
Agreas – guitars

With the new lineup, work is currently being put into new material for an upcoming split release that will be announced by the end of 2016, which will forebode much more to come in 2017.

Always on the lookout for the best, most maverick bands in the black metal underground, W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS is proud to release the debut mini-album of ADAESTUO, Tacent Semitae. A swirling breath of otherworldly energies, Tacent Semitae is a startling and profound introduction to this otherwise-unknown band.

ADAESTUO was formed as a covenant between three wandering souls at the unhallowed crossroads where the darkest elements of ambient, black metal, and spiritual praxis conjoin. Being a series of audial sigils cast by VJS and P.E.Packain and led in evocation by Hekte Zaren, ADAESTUO transcends the modern homogeny found among the lower caste of musical initiates. This work aims at the destruction of the collective black metal ego: heralding the coming of the forces of darkness from rifts in the thin veil between the flesh and The Otherside. Across the four tracks and 21 minutes of Tacent Semitae, expect nothing but piercing hymns and hallowed, sinister spells from this coven, and altogether anticipate ADAESTUO to reveal the abyss within.

ADAESTUO has entrusted the manifestation of these malevolent intentions to the strong and honorable mortals at WORLD TERROR COMMITTEE, so that they may cloak this world in a burial shroud. Abandon all hope, forge thy fears as weapons, and ye shall be granted passage here…
