about

This is the "almost lost album" of Striborg.
Recorded during 5 depressive years (2009 - 2014), these tracks were almost lost forever when my PC (at the time) was stuck on a reboot loop.
In other words the dreaded "blue screen of death".
Due to my apathy and depression for Striborg at the time, this was not long after the "One Man Metal" documentary shooting and Displeased Records ripping me off.
I hadn't worked on TSE for a couple of years or turned my PC on for many months.
It was as though my declining interest in Striborg at the time came back and bit me in the arse.
Luckily the place I purchased my computer from manage to just get my hard drive spinning enough to rip everything onto an external hard drive.
A new computer (Mac) and recording software (Protools) was hence purchased to agonisingly finish the album.
It took years and a few thousand dollars to complete.
In addition RSP had many delays in getting this album manufactured.

Out later this year will be the vinyl version.

One of the most forgotten and under appreciated albums from the Striborg discography. Pity, as there are some worthy moments on the album with the pièce de résistance being the title track.

This Silent Distance
by Scent of Silence

Fantastic DSBM from Italy with coldwave and shoegaze influences. Basically this album sounds like a black metal version of Lycia! Striborg

Youth in Ribbons
by Revenant Marquis

supported by 13 fans who also own “This Suffocating Existence”

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode

Kentucky
by Panopticon

supported by 13 fans who also own “This Suffocating Existence”

La mine, c'est le lieu qui met le plus en exergue les disparités sociales : d'un côté ils sont des milliers à descendre dans les entrailles de la terre, de l'autre une poignée s'élève socialement ; d'un côté ils meurent par centaines sous l'effet des coups de grisou, de l'autre ils consolident leurs richesses. Cette dualité, elle traverse aussi Kentucky : d'un côté le black metal atmosphérique asphyxiant, de l'autre l'americana et le folklore héroïque. Panopticon est dans la lutte permanente !
