With guest lead guitar and backing vocal from Liquid Grey, who adds some real depth and darkness to the overall sound of the track, Carnival Star's "Black Rain Down" is one of the first two releases from Halloween 2013
Released 31 October 2013
Written and Recorded by Carnival Star.
Music and Vocal - ProducerMark.
Lead Guitar and Backing Vocal - Liquid Grey.
"Black Rain Down gives a respectful nod to the point where post-punk and goth were at its peak, replete with 21st Century polish and drive.
Reminiscent of The Nephilim before they became The Nefilim and The Cult before they became The Rolling Stones."
- DJ Cruel Britannia
"A song that's got the gothic sound down to a tee, from the intro of hushed vocal before it bursts into an impressive little rock number. An excellent song! Overall, these are two very good songs and if you like HIM, The Mission or the afore mentioned Sisters Of Mercy you will like Carnival Star"
- Mark Sharpley - Fourculture Magazine

------------------------
Why did you say that the way was clear,
And tell me tales that would well the tears.
When the black rain - Black Rain Down.
Why did you want me to lie and steal,
To take your place on your Catherine Wheel.
When the black rain - Black Rain Down.
Down Down Down Down Down Down,
No No No No No I don't wanna know.
See them drowning,
False Kings they're crowning,
In their black rain - Black Rain Down.
When they said they were taller than god,
Did they know it was written in blood.
In the black rain - Black Rain Down.
Damn the dark pain,
Bring the heart shame,
In the black rain - Black Rain Down.

Exploring themes of union and dissociation, impossibly forgotten moments, process become form, ASCETIC:
Biography Drawn from a collective obsession with fringe philosophy and post-new-age consciousness, Self Initiation evokes the moods & spaces of 4AD's early roster (Swans, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins), with a nod to contemporaries The Soft Moon, Factory Floor & Portishead's 'Third'. Thick pulsing rhythms erupt into glorious, cascading conclusion; from narcissistic rants, to sickly crooned anthems; from the outer regions of reality to the depths of the subconscious, a white shadow emerging from the process: ASCETIC. Recorded, mixed & mastered at Birdland by Lindsay Gravina & Rob Long (HTRK, New War, Rowland S. Howard, Hungry Ghosts). Ascetic: - Self Initiation will be released worldwide through OSCL Records on March 4th, 2013.
Opera Multi Steel is a band from France who recently had their 30 year anniversary
as a band. Honestly, this is something new for me, first time I heard
them was for some months ago when I played one of their track “mauvais
Oeil” over Gothtune Podcast #20, taken from their album “Mélancolie En Prose” 2013.
However, I listen to their new album Apparences De L’Invisible,
released 31 of mars 2014 and found it very interesting. I gave it some
time, and I think I needed it because they are kind of different. They
describe themselves as Darkwave / Cold Wave, I think I can find some
Neofolk and New Wave inside this too. Sometimes they reminded me as a
blend of old Dead Can Dance and Joy Division. The lyrics are on french
and they play alot with their voices, like doing canons ect.
My favorite songs are track 3, “A L’Extrême Veille D’Un Novembre Imminent” and track 7, “Infini Sidéral”.
