REMINA – Strata, CD

Digipak CD. 氛围厄运金属，2022年首专。由Mike Lamb (Sojourner) ，Heike Langhans (前Draconian, 前ISON, :LOR3L3I:)组建。

Group formed in 2021 by Mike Lamb (Sojourner) and Heike Langhans (ex-Draconian, ex-ISON, :LOR3L3I:)

The band, born just about one year later than the other shared project by Lamb and Langhans, Light Field Reverie, aims to focus on the doomier side of their music, taking a rather cosmic approach. “We wanted Remina to be a place where we could focus on our love of space and sci-fi exclusively”, Lamb said.

At the end of this dark spaceway was Strata, the band’s debut album set for release in November. Written and recorded between New Zealand, South Africa and Germany, Remina’s debut has hints of all the other current and former projects of both musicians, yet sounds like something different and unique.

“Strata’s songs and themes are heavily inspired by some of our favorite sci-fi like Tsutomu Nihei's 'Blame!', the series/books of 'The Expanse', and the film 'Sunshine'; all of which have tracks directly related to them”, the band added. 

"Remina builds cathedrals in space." - radiometal.com

"Music inspired by supernovae and the ghosts of vanished planets. Doom metal in a whole new light, carrying a sense of soaring in space, a sense of liberation from the shackles of your own earthly shell. Strata is an experience of the senses – provocative and ethereal, opening up new territories in front of the listener, creating sights from the farthest corners of the cosmic abyss." - thevoidjournal.com

"Here, darkwave motifs creep in amidst a minimalist post-metal aesthetic; ethereal keyboards suggest the allure of deep space, and slow decaying riffs paint spacious and mysterious landscapes."

"We all have those albums that feel like they are something more than music, more than just another record in our collection. These albums are works of art and steadfast companions to us in the grim of life; sometimes those albums that connect with us during difficult times end up being the ones we remember and cherish forever. I think the debut album from Remina has become one such album for me. Strata releases on November 11th, but I feel like I’ve been listening to it all my life." - theprogmind.com
