Starlight's Guide by Of Solitude and Solemn

This EP is my side of a split with Courtsleet. Due to manufacturing problems, however, we have decided to release both of our sides as separate EP's so that they can be released physically later as a complete package and split.

Courtsleet's side, titled "Hope's Apparition", is available here: http://courtsleet.bandcamp.com/album/hopes-apparition

Starlight's Guide is a soundtrack for wanderers - airy and atmospheric post-rock with reserved but powerful doom metal. Delicate synths create enrapturing soundscapes with guitars constantly switching between gentle and crushing, feverish and desperate vocals and tense drumwork.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

"The follow up to 2013's brilliantly conceived self titled debut, "Starlight's Guide" is every bit as breathtaking as it's predecessor, but with a notable layer of fresh air to bring it all together." - Sorrow Eternal http://sorroweternal.blogspot.co.uk/

"Some master the fragile balance that lies between the emotion that lies in post-rock and the primal carnage of black metal to create a beautiful beast that takes great influence from both without becoming too saturated with either side. Of Solitude and Solemn's lone member Joe Hawker often revels in that very achievement with his latest offering, "Starlight's Guide."" - Micah-Nahum Ferguson, Sputnikmusic.com
