The men behind Sun Of The Sleepless and Cavernous Gate are no strangers to split releases; in fact, they played in Nachtmahr and Helrunar respectively in 2005 on a joint EP. 14 years later now, one - Schwadorf of Empyrium, The Vision Bleak and Noekk - continues on the path Sun Of The Sleepless carved with "To The Elements" in 2017, whereas the other - Helrunar co-founder and drummer S.K. - goes into a wholly new venture.

For Sun Of The Sleepless, teaming up with a long-time friend, who also plays guitar at the group's shows, suggested itself. "We make a good match," explains Schwadorf. "Each of us is a multi-instrumentalist with deep roots in the 1990s but also open to fresh inspiration." His contribution, a song cycle titled "The Lure Of Nyght," deepens the concept of "Poetic Black Metal Dirges," the group's raison d'être since its foundation in 1998.

While the lyrics are, in part, literal translations from German Expressionist and Romantic works, the band leader even sees the tracks as a continuation of Empyrium's classic "Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields," being equally impetuous and evocative - a valid description of Cavernous Gate's doom death as well. "I wanted to create otherworldly, ghostly, soundtrack-like music without clinging to just one style," says S.K. about his solo project. "It came together intuitively from different areas, also what's called dungeon synth these days."

Regarding the lyrical content, S.K. keeps his cards close to his chest, but the name Cavernous Gate is telling enough, meaning "a gate into unknown realms, dark and forlorn." Similar to Schwadorf, he audibly draws from the likes of early Ulver, Emperor or Katatonia - and within this triangle, their split album might be the most vintage Prophecy Productions release of late …

"Sun Of The Sleepless / Cavernous Gate" is available as Digisleeve CD and on vinyl (black, lim. silver).

Sun Of The Sleepless - To The Elements from 9.58 $

Sun Of The Sleepless is the solo project of Schwadorf (aka Markus Stock), the mastermind behind two of Prophecy Productions' most popular acts, Empyrium and The Vision Bleak. The band creates poetic black metal dirges that twist with cold, raw atmospheres. Despite its formation in 1998, "To the Elements" is Sun Of The Sleepless' full-length debut, following its split EP with Nachtmahr (2004), the band's debut EP "Poems to the Wretches Hearts" (1999) and the coveted 7" "Tausend Kalte Winter" released in 2000, which featured a trip hop take on the Darkthrone classic "En As I Dype Skogen"(!).

Now, 13 years later, Sun Of The Sleepless rises from the grave to deliver a startling album of new material! With "To the Elements", Schwadorf creates songs that brim with aura and mood, building on the foundation that was laid with SoTS' previous works while injecting an entirely new level of intensity and incandescence. Described by its creator as "A fist in the face of a shallow world!" the record's icy cold black metal holds a doom-laden edge warmed only by poetic lyrics inspired by great romantic writers of the ages.

Tracks such as the searing "In the Realm of the Bark", the darkened "Phoenix Rise" and the haunting "Where in My Childhood Lived a Witch" are indelible fortresses of frost calling for comparison to stylistic stalwarts such as Emperor, Darkthrone, early Ulver or Katatonia, brought to life anew with an original touch. Sun Of The Sleepless has returned and the world is on warning!

Split album by two insiders' tips of the experimental Black-Metal underground

With Sun Of The Sleepless and Nachtmahr, we offer you two explorers of the night side - the night side which inspired foreboding characters such as Lord Byron and Georg Trakl to put their confrontations with death and the devil into verse. Sun Of The Sleepless, already thought lost by some, are featured with four stylistically diverse, but always pitch-black compositions, adding a mighty Burzum interpretation in keeping with tradition ('Dunkelheit') and a unique Dark Throne cover version. Nachtmahr contribute three scruffy tracks to this split CD that speak for themselves.
