KEKHT ARÄKH - Pale Swordsman LP Experimental I turn towards it for

I turn towards it for meaning

— Michael Ehlers & Zac Brenner

Tom Donlinger on drums and of course Wales on keyboards

shows the myth of Venus in a dystopian and dreamlike world

Her rich playing is warped beyond recognition through inventive synthesizing and digital manipulations

KEKHT ARÄKH - Pale Swordsman LP Experimental I turn towards it forKkht Arkh is the Ukrainian project founded in 2018 by Dmitry Marchenko. Originally released on the Finnish label Livor Mortis in 2021, Pale Swordsman goes to even greater extents in building a bold and atmospheric sonic palette, and it's now seeing a worldwide reissue via Brooklyn label Sacred Bones. For the sound design of the album, Dmitry was inspired by The Stooges' Raw Power to deliver a more soft sounding album, decisively less "metal".
