WAXGOAT417 Kommodus (Aus) - Dreams of Blossoming Rust - Picture MLP/MLP

https://youtu.be/b9IA_orqXEw

Stepping away from the suffocating distortion of his raw black metal origins, Lepidus Plague unveils a deeply introspective vision on Kommodus’ Dreams of Blossoming Rust. Self-dubbed as "Kommodus Folk," this unique release trades the project's usual blood-soaked militancy for a stripped-down, deeply organic melancholy.

Recorded in the depths of isolated jungle woods, the overarching sound relies heavily on mournful acoustic guitars, weathered but sparse voice, and the strikingly melancholic use of horns. While it completely sheds the abrasive blast beats and caustic riffs of the Kommodus mainline, it undeniably retains the rugged, triumphant spirit that defines the entity's ethos, channeling it through a raw, campfire-like intimacy. Instead of chaotic battlefields, the instrumentation conjures images of forgotten ruins reclaimed by nature and the quiet solitude of overgrown, untamed landscapes.

Bound by themes of absolute isolation and the relentless passage of time, the release functions as a poignant detour in the project's sprawling discography. Dreams of Blossoming Rust offers a tranquil, evocative listening experience that naturally invites the mind to wander through secluded wilderness and the quiet decay of passing eras.

Available on 100 picture disc edition and 180g heavy black vinyl, with Japanese style tip-on jacket and 12” insert, wrapped up OBI.
