Loss Of Self

Twelve Minutes

Flenser

Now available on vinyl! Melbourne, Australia’s formidable black metal entity Loss Of Self has teamed up with avant-garde metal label The Flenser to release Twelve Minutes, the follow-up to the band’s highly acclaimed 2012 demo cassette.  Clocking in at just under 30 minutes, the LP features six brand new songs as well as remastered versions of the original three demo tracks. Unfurling dark, sweeping soundscapes, Loss Of Self’s post-rock and twisted black metal surpasses all musical boundaries and restrictions.  Twelve Minutes was mastered by James Plotkin (SUNN0))), Nadja, Isis) and features artwork conceived and illustrated by the band.  “[Twelve Minutes] comes cloaked in the same ragged black shroud that got fans of so-called “post-black metal” all fired up last year, with L.O.S.’ affinity for mesmeric shoegaze and moody post-punk peeking through like the feverish gleam in a madman’s eye.” —Pitchfork “This is a band that’s overflowing with emotion and talent, and they don’t mind pushing past black metal’s walls to the overgrown fields beyond.” —Meat Mead and Metal “Black metal and shoegaze are no strangers to each other, and Loss Of Self pull it off well, nailing that unwelcoming and bitter sound of traditional black metal with a neat knack for depressing melody.” —Tight to the Nail
