This record is meant to be played afterhours, when the candle s glow replaces the strobe of urban chaos and wisps of incense smoke spiral toward the night sky, carrying secret dreams of your most hidden pleasures!
It's back...at long last..but while the saying is "good things come to those who wait," I'd like to insert that sinful things await those who come. So come along into this odd, obtuse voyage so lovingly known as The Unquiet Grave. Strange to fathom this nasty little concept is now entering its fourth volume for a label approaching its 12th year! Ah, the goth has spread as the black death itself, mutating like a stubborn virus throughout the dancefloors, bedrooms and funeral parlours of the world. It is becoming increasingly more treacherous to reign in goth s bastard minions on one cohesive over-glorified mix, so enjoy this somewhat random, though conceptually constructed overview of all things dark and wondrously musical. Will this series finally stay in its tomb and roam the shrouded moors no more? Well, as long as there are night kind, miscreants, misfits, freaks, witches, dabblers, shadow dancers, cyber punks and rivetheads infiltrating the mundane fabric of societal norms, your fiends at Cleo will do our damndest to provide you with the finest dark pleasures from the underground. Until next time...Indulge! --Cleopatra Records
