Gabestok, a Copenhagen-based duo consisting of Fleep (guitar/ vocals) and DØ (drums), play a frenetic blend of punk, black metal and garage rock.

With its eight cuts, Tre is the band's longest release to date, prolonging Gabestok’s tongue-in-cheek experiments as featured on II (Havngær) and the Korpsånd compilation released by Fallow Field, Tour De Garde and Nattetale. The '70’s horror-infested style that was introduced on Gabestok's very first release, Brystet, is now violently increasing in pace, intensity and energy.

Tre will be available on vinyl and digitally tomorrow. A release show will be held at Mayhem in Copenhagen, Denmark on November 9.

The album is available now on pre-order from Strange Aeons Records: https://strangeaeonsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/tre

Canadian avant-garde folk artist, Mappe Of - a moniker for Tom Meikle - is sharing his mesmerising new single, ‘Faesulae’. Released on the heels of ‘Unkno’, this is the third single to be taken from the forthcoming album, The Isle Of Ailynn, which is due for release on November 1, via Paper Bag Records.

Recorded at Bathouse Studio, Ontario (operated by the multi-award-winning Canadian band, The Tragically Hip) with longtime collaborator Will Crann and engineer Nyles Spencer (Broken Social Scene, Gord Downie), The Isle of Ailynn documents a fantasy world through nine different landscapes that draw parallels between a mythological space and everyday conflicts, troubles and fears within our lives. ‘Faesulae’ pulls on an array of electronics, finger-picked guitar and surging percussion, structurally diving through crescendos and varying degrees of tempo, further demonstrating Meikle’s rich musical understanding.

Speaking about the new single which outlines another of the forthcoming album's nine idiosyncratic land- scapes, Meikle says: “‘Faesulae’ is the return home, adventure weary, battle worn, empty handed. It’s about setting out for answers and returning with more questions. Though you’ll have to wait for the full album version for the dust to settle completely.”

The Isle of Ailynn looks to follow-on from the Toronto-based artist’s critically acclaimed 2017 debut, A Northern Star, A Perfect Stone, marking a more focused theme and progressive understanding of genre and songwriting. Meikle’s debut release found him opening for the likes of Martha Wainwright and Bahamas whilst amassing over five-million streams.
