The Slovak trio Berlin Manson was created as a so-called apartment band in the dark times of Covid lockdowns. The founders Patrik Nagy and Adam Dragun compensated for their lack of cultural enjoyment by creating new and original music, where Patrik provided his DIY electronic beats with live guitar and Adam his lyrics full of sarcasm and criticism of the conditions of the scene and society.

the creation and release of this album have been supported using public funding by the Slovak Arts Council.

Their music is very minimalist, repetitive, still, the compositions // songs surprisingly evolve over time. The cold synths are beautifully augmented with raw or effected layers of Sajanova’s vocal. Of striking prominence is the decision to forgo the use of any beats or percussive elements. The whole album revolves just around vocals, synths, and layers, and the richness they possess enough within themselves. .

This goes in line with Suchy’s previous work, one of his trademarks being working mostly with melody and harmony, defying a lot of what is going on in contemporary experimental music. In a way, it is a strive to return to classical or pop 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄 in her deepest sense; experimental more in the use of sounds, approaches and forms, rather than defying the musical.

The Czecho-slovakian instrumental trio, Inheritance, invites you to rediscover their sonic journey with the reissue of their previous EPs, "Frames" (2014) and "Saturate" (2016), now elegantly entwined into a single captivating package released for the first time on vinyl, on Weltschmerzen. Comprising of the trio Jakub Volovár (guitar), Alex Strapková (piano), and Peter Kušnírik (drums), Inheritance was active in the mid 2010s in Brno, later unfortunately disbanding due to own personal pursuits.

Frames // Saturate embodies the melancholic and melodic tension characteristic of contemporary post-rock, complemented by the whimsy of piano-led instrumentals with a tint of indie-playfulness and a very slight yet powerful grain of sludge heaviness that can be traced back to Volovár's and Kušnirik's earlier post-metal project, Dawn to Come.

Frames // Saturate is first and foremost a compact sonic voyage. Volovár's evocative yet precise guitar work builds complex yet airy scaffolding, while Strapková's piano melodies create a tapestry of moods around it. Both EPs showcase Strapková's piano prowess, transforming each composition into a living organism. Kušnírik's drumming then acts as the steady pulse, guiding you through. These songs encapsulate the kind of mutualism and appreciation for (musical) interdependence that you can only develop throughout the years of practice and playing live.

Frames // Saturate is out November 17th on a limited edition 12'' vinyl. Listen // buy via our bandcamp. Soon on all streaming platforms.
