By -

 The album pre-order and first 2 tracks are now available for streaming, as well as the first official video for the song "Virgo Lucifera". Please go to https://altrusiangrace.bandcamp.com/album/veriditas

The album is set to be released on 3/20/2023

Illuminated Void began as a dark ambient project fronted by Matt Schmitz (of stoner doom band Sleestak) and released their first self-titled album in late 2021, quickly followed by a second album in early 2022 entitled The Vesper Serpent. These albums incorporated haunting dream-like soundscapes with subtle hints of psychedelia and neoclassical traits and thematically revolved around alchemy, esotericism, and occultism. By mid-2022 the band was writing material for a third album as well as undergoing a massive shift in the overall creative direction - one that embraced the heavier side of music and paying homage not only to the influences of earlier works by bands such as Cathedral, Paradise Lost, and Anathema, but also the sounds of Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, and others. This melting pot of sounds allowed the forging of a new and unique style that still shone with the original dark ambient textures of the first two albums and yet elevated Illuminated Void to new sonic possibilities. The result is Veriditas - an esoteric listening experience wrought with dynamic twists and turns that invites the listener to go within themselves and their subconscious mind.

Every download of this album includes a 50-page PDF booklet of art and lyrics.

Matt's new ambient/atmospheric album STILL WATERS available now!

By -
Still Waters by Altrusian Grace Media Still Waters is the first full length album from Altrusian Grace Media. It is an emotional ambient journey through the depths of our most vital element. The goal here is to create an unstructured liminal musical experience that provides the listener a powerful backdrop for meditation work, dream work, entheogenic practices, and thorough self exploration. The music of Still Waters was written in an improvised manner, building layer upon layer, but always with an image of floating in mind, suspended peacefully in the darkness of the deepest water. As with most releases by Altrusian Grace Media, it is recommended that the listener uses quality headphones to in order to obtain the best experience. Thank you for your support and please enjoy this album.

The Sleeping Shaman Review

By Sleestak -
What can I say? The Sleeping Shaman reviews the new Sleestak CD and once again we as a band are blown away by the praise and positive reception it has received. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of the album itself and are very glad to hear others share our outlook. Thanks Mark, enjoy the old TV series, and hope it gives you that dark vibe of psychedelic sci-fi nostalgia that it's infected us with.
