About the Album
2020: a pandemic virus turns our lives upside down. The vulnerability of our system is now obvious and uncertainty spreads around the globe, sowing the seeds of superstition, agitation, and incitement. While in quarantine, our thoughts circle around the fundamental existential questions, and finally, confusion impairs our composure. Now mythical creatures and ghosts inspire our imagination and ancient beliefs occupy our post-factual brains. The virus has penetrated our lives... It is the right time for psychoactive and contemplative musical enjoyment, it is time for Blank Manuskript.
With their recent release, Himmelfahrt' Blank Manuskript interweave the masterpiece ‚Death' by the Swedish 70's Prog-Rock Band Dice with their own conceptual work on Dante's 'Divina Commedia'. The result is a mind-blowing sonic journey through the underworld from the hellish abyss into the celestial spheres of heaven. In the accustomed quality, the Austrian ArtRock ensemble celebrates the epic breadth and invites listeners to encounter the realm beyond the short-living, superficial radio format.
Anyhow, musically highly contagious!
Very bad news though: We had pressed vinyl sadly of insufficient quality and thus we can't sell them until we get copies with the desired sound-quality-standard. Therefore, we have only this digital release momentarily.
