EXCLUSIVE FREE DOWNLOADABLE FULL LENGHT NEW ALBUM:
Inquire Within by Transcendent Device
http://novisiblescars.bandcamp.com/album/inquire-withinFINAL ALBUM from this project available now for free download. A rembling miasma of ambient drone.
Transcendent Device(Micheal Todd) origins lie within his first project, the martial industrial Propaganda Machine(1994-1996). Although never releasing a proper full length, Propaganda Machines following stemmed from material released on such compilation tapes as Under The Ravens Banner and In De Ban Tiwar. It was also around this same period Micheal worked with Jonathan Canaday on what would be the early Deathpile releases(Agonize Humilliate Destroy and the Gasbutcher cassettes) as well as performing live with Deathpile. Amongst the few shows played was opening for Atrax Morgue and Intrinsic Action at the Pyramid Club In New York City in 1997. M.Todds neofolk/ambient project Black Raven followed suite in 1997. Black Ravens debute release was issued by the Swiss label Allegoria that same year and quickly sold out of the initial first pressing. Not until 2004 did Micheal make a return to creating music with his Marspitar and Transcendent Device projects. Marspitar released 5 albums in it's 2 year existence on labels such as Forshadow Productions and Somnambulant Corpse. Marspiters sound can be described as a nostalgic blend of neoclassical, martial and dark ambient ala The Protagonist, In Slaughter Natives, Der Blutharsch and Lustmord. Transcendent Device has produced 6 releases on such labels as Foreshadow Productions and Bone Structure as well as fully downloadable full lenght albums on Entity Benekkea Mahorka.Transcendent Devices sound is subdued subliminal melodic drone accented with darkened ambiance. Think early 90's Die Sonne Satans, Ain Soph and Atom Infant Incubator.
Collaboration CD with L.Kerr(Steel Hook Prostheses) still available:
http://novisiblescars.bandcamp.com/album/beyond-the-threshold"8 tracks of purely malevolent and murky darkness - minimal and claustrophobic tonal drifts emanating from the shadows of the crypt, akin to Archon Satani, early Lustmord, and Yen Pox. What's not to like?" Jason(Malignant Records)
