CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC: exciting news for April and May 2014

adminLeave a comment

April is the month of Keep It True Festival, which will be taking place on the last weekend of the month. Cruz Del Sur Music will be present as usual, enjoying this great festival and supporting our recording artists Atlantean Kodex (their show is scheduled for Saturday 26th April at 6 pm).

During the festival we will also present two of our May releases, Vestal Claret “The Cult of Vestal Claret” and Battleroar “Blood of Legends”.

For years Vestal Claret has been very hard to find and listen due to the nature of their mysterious existence.  Only in 2011, with the release of “Virgin Blood” (Sarlacc Productions) 7’’ vinyl EP and the “Bloodbath” full-length album, the band was finally able to reach out to the fans.
Their Cruz del Suir Music’s 2014 release “The Cult of The Vestal Claret” is introduced by the art of Juha Vuorma, and is a sum of Vestal Claret’s blackened essence. It features re-recorded versions of their tracks from their split with Ungod and the long, creepy suite “Black Priest” (from their split with Albatross). Besides, it introduces some new occult metal classics such as “The Stranger” and “Great Goat God”, and a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Who Are You”.

 “The Cult of the Vestal Claret” will be available, in compact disc, vinyl (with different tracklist) and digital in all stores from May 2nd , and also pre-sold at Keep It True.

Copies of their previous releases “Bloodbath” (compact disc) and “Virgin Blood” can be found at our e-store. Read more “CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC: exciting news for April and May 2014”

Sometimes it actually happens: Without extravagant marketing, without financial power of big labels, without trends and without hype, without participating in the usual circus – but “just” because of brilliant music Germany’s Epic-Metal-Heroes ATLANTEAN KODEX have entered the national Top 100 album charts on # 65 with their new masterpiece “The White Goddess”!

“The White Goddess”was released on 4 October in 2 versions: the CD version was proudly released by Cruz Del Sur Music, while a vinyl version is available on Germany’s Van Records. This is what some of the press had to say about it:

“The 8 songs and 55 minutes of Atlantean Kodex’s second album takes the fabled principles of their previous outing (“The Golden Bough”) and increases every scale” www.metal-archives.com

“I remember very well my mention about the “Golden Bough” to be on the list of the most important Epic Metal albums of this decade. Well with the “White Goddess” album the band have managed to reach a HIGHER LEVEL.” The Forgotten Scroll webzine

German Underground Metal Titans ATLANTEAN KODEX have returned from obscurity  to redefine Epic  Metal  with  their  long-awaited  second  album,  titled  „The White Goddess  – A grammar  of poetic  myth“. The album  will be released  on  October  4th  2013  on CD in Europe, and pre-orders are OPEN NOW!! Click on the button below to buy your copy through our online store:

We know how much you have been waiting for this, but if you still are unaware of the greatness of “The White Goddess”, have a quick tour of the first press comments:

“The production is great and atmospheric, the musicians are top notch, the lyrics are perhaps the best written the genre has seen in a while and it’s very epic, perhaps too much. This is still the best Epic Metal album of 2013, I, without certain restraints, welcome the new reigning kings to their throne.” METAL OBSERVER 9/10

“Atlantean Kodex deliver with ‘The White Goddess’ something special. EPIC is the word! With album tracks mostly clocking in 10 minutes or more, it takes you on a musical journey. Progressive edges (Fates Warning) combined with Manowar/Bathory grandeur! This is an album for a long time to enjoy! RATING: 9 stars (out of maximum 10 stars).” PROGRESSIVE XGROOVES RADIO – 9/10

“An epic elegy, a call to battle! […] I sucked up every note of it, I enjoyed every melody. Albums like this do not come often anymore …” ROCK OVERDOSE, 95/100

Indeed the band has progressed much since their debut effort „The Golden Bough“. The sound is more  mature,  more dramatic, more  bombastic.  Everything  on  the  album  spells HUGE in  capital letters.  While  the  key  coordinates  old  Manowar  (Ross  the  Boss-era),  Bathory  (Twilight-era) and obscure  US  Metal  (Fates  Warning,  Cirith  Ungol,  Warlord…)  are  still  dominant,  the  band  has manage to explore new ground with „The White Goddess“. This is one of the few albums, which will leave noone cold.
