about

Sleeping Giant Glossolalia presents the June 18th release of Arelseum III, the
new album by Arelseum.

Arelseum is the new project of Colin Marston (Krallice, Gorguts,
Dysrhythmia, Behold the Arctopus) and Ryan Lipynsky (Unearthly Trance, The Howling Wind,
Reeking Aura).

In addition to a digital release, SGG will release the album on
cassette as part of a trilogy of tapes: Arelseum, Arelseum II, Arelseum III.

Through their many respective projects, Marston and Lipynsky have spent the past two
decades prowling the extreme and experimental depths of metal, and have helped move
the genre forward. Acquainted since the early 2000s as prolific members of the New
York scene, Marston and Lipynsky began Arelseum in 2020 during the pandemic.
Arelseum sees the duo combine their talents in an entirely new way: cinematic synthscapes, for fans of '70s sci-fi epics, '80s slasher films, and dungeon
synth. From suffocating tension to placid tranquility, Arelseum paints vivid scenes
using elements seemingly of another time and space.

Marston, working from his famed Queens, NY studio, Menegroth The Thousand Caves
(where he has engineered, mixed and mastered music by all of his own projects as well
as such artists as Agalloch, Liturgy, Prurient, and Kelly Moran), states: "It was
born out of the remoteness of the pandemic. Ryan starts all the songs and sends me the
multitrack with the title. I overdub keys and drums, then edit, arrange and mix. So it's
almost like he's the singer-songwriter who hands the nice, simple and effective song
over to the producer, and I just over-produce the fuck out of it and accidentally make it
LESS commercial. Haha!"

Rather than pinning down any specific musical influences, Lipynsky makes this
statement: "The concepts at play are the ideas that go through your head when you are
between being barely awake and asleep. Inspiration through exhaustion. The ideas
reveal themselves in a unique way that only makes sense when it is complete. This band
is about instinctual creativity and the art form of collaboration."
