about

Fresh off the very well received (and quickly sold out) demo, लड़ाई का मैदान, Dressed In Streams returns with a new attack. लड़ाई का मैदान roughly translates to “battlefields” in English, and what comes after the battlefields are cleared? Victorious celebration. Ecstatic joy. Vande Mataram is a traditional Indian patriotic song, from the late 1800s, adopted as the national song of India in 1937. Vande Mataram, or “I Bow To Thee, Motherland” is found here, re-imagined and rewritten by Dressed In Streams. What was then a Indian patriotic song intended to pay tribute to the glorious motherland to and inspire the people in their fight for freedom, is now given a respectful 21st century update. The freedom has been won, but the struggle continues for India. As लड़ाई का मैदान explored a past violent trajectory, Vande Mataram takes in a deep breath and unleashes a single 30 minute prayer to Bharat Mata. When peace is declared and yet war and suffering for many still exist, the time has come to India to rise up under its new national anthem. Across the half-hour run time, Dressed In Streams reinterprets Vande Mataram as only they can. Churning, blurry black metal riffs, hazy synth layers, and elephant-heavy drumming propel the pained vocal delivery of sole member अकेला. Generational pain and ancient blood memory boil over across this imposing imperial march. Presented in six movements, taking names from the first six lines of the Vande Mataram, this piece of music is truly meant to be listened as a single unmolested experience. Black metal, raga, tablas, and tanpura collide in a tenebrous exaltation of the greatest nation in history… India.

On Indian flag green windowless cassette and saffron tinted cassette case. With download. Strictly limited.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Habituellement, j'écris mon commentaire dans la foulée une fois que j'ai terminé tel ou tel album mais là... J'ai vraiment besoin de quelques minutes, pour reprendre mes esprits. Parce que Serpent Column a totalement perdu le sien dans Endless Detainment. Cet E.P., c'est un cataclysme de black/death metal cacophonique et hystérique qui tient sur vingt-et-une minutes et qui ne s'arrête jamais — au point de s'achever avec un fade out. Tout tient ensemble grâce à un sens de la technique inhumain ! Jordan Vauvert
