Well, this is my first post here… I’ve been thinking about creating a video for Spinefish for a long time. Though I’ve got several ideas, I have no possibility of realizing them yet. A screensaver became the best form of visualization of my ideas at this point. It seemed to be the simplest way to combine the music and the video, and make the music absorbed not only by our ears but by eyes as well (as most of us are slaves of visual perception).
If you draw attention to the other side of our tangled world (that usually means just human relationships), you would see how touching and majestic nature is in its each display: whether it’s an ochre sunset or a cold seastorm. If you could have just a slight look at the earth from above, you would understand how small and lonely we are, moribund creatures of flesh in a great universe of stone, dust and vacuum.

Hardly have I returned to senses after the “breaking news” about the release of Fool’s Paradise Revisited on AFmusic, when another surprising event happened. Today AFmusic’s compilation entitled 25 has come out and we are among the participating artists. Surprising because Falk, the boss, told us about his intention to include our track only yesterday and we, a bit perplexed, just said yes. And today we have found ourselves among such amazing artists as Thora, Emerald Park, Noctiflora, Curious, All:My:Faults, The Search, and many others :) It’s nice when things go rapidly.
An excerpt from the press-release:
“25 publications, more than 150,000 free downloads, bands from Germany, Sweden, Russia, Italy and Brazil - this is the shorthand for the fledgling Netlabel afmusic. Specialized in the rather gloomy sounds of Dark Wave, Gothic rock, Indie, Alternative and Industrial Rock, it’s time for a brief look back…25, the summary of half a year working with great bands and an outlook on what will follow.”
See more information on the 25’s page on af-music.de.
Yeah, the compilation is available for free download. Use this direct link to download the zip-archive.
P.S. Gmayalohren and I have listened to 25 today and it left quite positive impressions in us. AFmusic does good work and we are sure we have found the proper publisher for our forthcoming album ;)

This September is going to be fruitful for the band in terms of music publishing. Our latest Fool’s Paradise Revisited will see the light on German AFmusic (apart from Vortex that comes out on Ekleipsi). The release of the album is scheduled on September 22. Among the artists that are on AFmusic there are All:My:Faults, Thora, The Search, Noctiflora, and some more remarkable bands. We are happy to join the family ;)
A few words about the album. Fool’s Paradise Revisited was recorded, engineered, mixed and mastered in our HLL studio in spring-summer 2007. The album consists of 13 pieces of 2003-2007 made with the style and sound that we have developed to date. Thus, it’s a kind of our renovated anthology.
Well, for the first time ever I’m starting to feel a little bit more significant, heh :)

The album Vortex is sheduled to be released on Ekleipsi in September. Ekleipsi is an Italitian label, offering dark music. Vortex was recorded, mixed and mastered in our now rebuilt and upgraded Hairslide Land’s Leas studio in May-July 2006, but hasn’t got enought distribution since then. We are sure our collaboration with Ekleipsi will make our work known, listened and appreciated by much more people, who love dark and obscure music.

We have finally set up our “About” page. So it is no longer “under construction”. The things said there are true and I am fascinated about the way Spinefish is progressing.

We are proud to announce that Spinefish will take part in Colours of Black: Russian dark scene compilation v.3 that comes out this fall. The compilation will be released by Shadowplay Records as usual and will include the non-album version of the song Embrace me. It’s worth mentioning that Spinefish already participated in Colours of Black v.2 in 2006 with the song Shattered 21.

Spinefish will perform live in Orel noise club Ka-Ka-Ka on June 14, 2008. The show starts at 19:00 pm. Though Spinefish have given a number of concerts in different cities of Russia, it will be the band’s second performance in the hometown. And the first one in this year. To some extent it symbolizes our ‘live revival’. Spinefish will share the stage with Orel art-pop industrial band Eretiki.

We are glad to announce that all Spinefish albums that have been released to date are live on 
now.
