It's hard to say what was going on in the heads of Thergothon's Niko Sirkiä and Jori Sjöroos when they decided to abandon towering doom and form This Empty Flow, a more delicate band reminiscent of the Cure or Slowdive. And while I am certain that Thergothon's five or six fans in 1994 were shocked and dismayed by this abrupt shift in style, Magenta Skycode is a beautiful record that might make you feel like a teenage girl who just had her heart broken by some mean boy.

I love stuff like that. Oh, the shame.
And it comes from Thergothon, intriguing...
"Magenta Skycode is a beautiful record that might make you feel like a teenage girl who just had her heart broken by some mean boy."
that s a hard sell
The thing I like best about the Thergothon album is the really somber, sweeping "melody" (strip that word of all its pansy-ish connotations).. so yeah, something like this doesn't seem that improbable to me.
Now I should listen to it, maybe...
love this much. thanks.
-admitted, goth/shoegaze enthusiast.
looking forward to this, thanks
Awesome, really. I'll throw this on inbetween some Anathema and Agalloch.
Well, I loves me some Thergothon and I loves me some Slowdive, so I'll definitely be giving this a shot.
You ever heard Kadotus 609, Aesop?
I know of a Black metal band called Kadotus, but not a Kadotus 609.
Always a pleasure, sir.
They have this band on the metal archives... while it is very awesome, it really isn't very metal.
This is really awesome. Thanks!
