Derek Rush [DREAM INTO DUST, UNFEELING, A MURDER OF ANGELS] weaves solemn melodies and dissonant chords drenched in the echoes of solitary spaces, with intermittent ambient and percussive sounds from forests and cemeteries. A split with ETVRNE was released on No Sides Records in 2024 — sold out from the label, but limited copies will be available at the show, along with brand new t-shirts. #dungeonsynth #dungeonsynthlive #newarknj #qxtsnightclub Photo #2 by @chloealexisdcay (who is also co-presenting the event as part of her Sunday Mourning Goth Brunch series)

After over a year and many side quests in between, the follow up to "Echoes of Eminence" will be available on Thursday April 30th. This album serves as part two in the Star-Fallen Survivor Trilogy, in which Caelum goes on a journey to learn the reasons why his homeland had succumb to a horrible tragedy.
