about

A compilation of demo recordings for the songs that were initially intended to be my first full length album. Given the separation from the current place this project is heading, I have decided to release this as a free compilation. Count it as my first album if you wish. This is what it was going to be. Dedicated to my father, and to the memory of Vasiliki.

Track 1: Dismal Hymns - Written and recorded in 2014 for a demo tape of the rehearsal process for the album. The newest song.

Track 2: A Cold Wind Stirs - The first song I wrote for the project back in 2011. This version was recorded in 2014. First version released on the Profound Devilry demo.

Track 3: Bloodmoon - The second song I wrote for the project. Also initially released on the Profound Devilry demo. This recording was made in 2014.

Track 4: Awakening (Damnation) - Don't quite remember when I wrote this song, I was very involved with my other band at the time (as I still am). This is the only recording of the track that I had. It was done as a test of the four track I had just acquired. Recorded in 2013.

Track 5: A World Not Ready - The only official recording for the album that I ever made, though poorly mixed. Written sometime in the winter of 2013, recorded sometime thereafter. Second real test run of the four track.

Track 6: Funeral Tome - Initially this track wasn't supposed to be on the compilation, but given the fact that I managed to delete the only other recording I had for the last song intended on going on the album I threw this in. Recorded in 2013.

A special thank you goes out to all of those who gave me support and the few who wanted to hear the finished album. I wish it could have been what I wanted it to be, but I have moved on from where I was when these songs were written. They are an ode to a better time in black metal. A big FUCK OFF to the rest of the world.

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 5 fans who also own “Ave Imperator (Compilation)”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

Descent
by Veldes

supported by 5 fans who also own “Ave Imperator (Compilation)”

One of the first black metal songs I heard that featured piano as a key instrument, and it's since influenced much of my tastes in metal. Fantastic EP that never grows old no matter how often I listen to it. Caleb Bratcher

selftitled
by NONE

supported by 5 fans who also own “Ave Imperator (Compilation)”

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert
