One may ask what really is the recognition on deserves based on merely couple tape releases?<\/p>\n<p>Previous release was tape called &#8220;Debris&#8221; on Unrest Productions 2013.\u00a0It is easy to agree with Discogs ratings that\u00a0reach close to full 5 points. However, despite being nearly perfect tape, 105 copies\u00a0edition\u00a0has remained fairly easy to\u00a0purchase still today.<\/p>\n<p>CAULDHAME&#8217;s\u00a0latest effort,\u00a0tape called Saturnine,\u00a0shows two things. First, that band\u00a0has maintained it&#8217;s strength and second, Unrest Productions is good in picking up bands under their roster, that has very specific quality to them.<\/p>\n<p>This quality could be described as <em>almost too good to be a tape<\/em>. Pretty much\u00a0every Unrest Productions tape from last years has been too good to remain &#8220;just a tape&#8221;. <strong>Kevlar, IFOTS, Abscheu, Kontinent, Human Larvae<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Am Not<\/strong>. This is not to say tape is not good enough and LP\/CD would be better. Quite opposite. I strongly believe, all mentioned bands have greatly benefitted from putting out material on tape. Sonically and aesthetically. Question is merely that is format reaching\u00a0as many\u00a0listeners as material certainly could deserve?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/309259232&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Cauldhame Saturnine tape inlay does not offer any details\u00a0about recording dates. It could be recent, or it could be already done years ago. Sound and composition\u00a0has strong similarily to his previous work.<\/p>\n<p>Cauldhame\u00a0operates\u00a0always by layering multiple elements on top of eachother. Often few layers of sharp tiny noisy details and drenching it with immense and epic humming background keyboards. New tape has plenty of physicality to it. Vast amount of electrically striking, but physically crafted acoustic sounds never become noise, but are noisy, <em>busy<\/em> and innovative.\u00a0Electronics and keyboards are most often atmospheric, despite undisputed brooding power that is present in many of the tracks. Vocals scarsely used, and very deep in the mix, almost disappearing as mere sound-element.<\/p>\n<p>It is hard to point out genre where this artist operates. This makes me think something between CONTROL (usa) and SECRED APEX (fin). Gap between mentioned two is so huge, Cauldhame has clearly its own sound, mixing together dark ambient, industrial and experimental sound textures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Debris&#8221; tape is sold out from most of places. &#8220;Saturnine&#8221; tape available now from Unrest Productions and various distributors. Older material that has been published only digitally at bandcamp, is well worth checking out. Hopefully &#8220;Thanatologist&#8221; would come out in physical format too.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/cauldhame.bandcamp.com\/album\/thanatologist<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0px currentColor; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3631271998\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/track=2876471652\/transparent=true\/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cauldhame.bandcamp.com\/album\/thanatologist\">Thanatologist by Cauldhame<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unrestproductions.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.unrestproductions.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>CAULDHAME is one of the artists from UK who has barely\u00a0received recognition it deserves.
