Buzz built for this release thanks to a series of captivating videos for the singles "Nevermind," "Left For Dead," and "Blossom!" This was the first CV album to be released simultaneously on both CD and vinyl formats!"Before Life Was Death" is a dark, atmospheric LP by Crying Vessel that dives deep into the worlds of post-punk, darkwave and cinematic electronics. Layered guitars, pulsing basslines and haunting synth textures build a dense, melancholic soundscape that feels both intimate and epic. The album moves between slow-burning, introspective tracks and more driving, club-ready moments, always carried by emotive vocals and a strong sense of melody. Lyrically, "Before Life Was Death" explores themes of loss, transformation, inner conflict and fragile hope, making it a compelling listen for fans of moody, immersive guitar- and synth-based music.
Crying Vessel is known for blending classic 80s-inspired post-punk and coldwave aesthetics with a modern production approach. Over the years, the project has built a solid reputation within the international darkwave and goth scene, playing festivals, touring across Europe and releasing a series of well-received albums and singles on respected underground labels. Their music frequently appears in curated darkwave and goth playlists, and the project is often praised for its cinematic depth and emotional authenticity.
The LP edition of "Before Life Was Death" emphasizes the immersive character of the album: the analog warmth of vinyl underlines the deep low-end, the shimmering guitars and the spacious reverbs that define Crying Vessel's sound. This makes the record particularly attractive for collectors and fans who value a tactile, focused listening experience. The track sequencing is designed to be heard as a cohesive journey from side A to side B, inviting repeated, full-length plays rather than casual skipping.
The release comes from Cleopatra / Cargo, a partnership rooted in one of the most established independent labels for dark, alternative and experimental music. Cleopatra Records has a long history of working with seminal goth, post-punk, industrial and new wave artists and is known for carefully curated reissues, compilations and new signings that fit into a coherent artistic vision. In cooperation with Cargo as distribution and manufacturing partner, the LP benefits from professional pressing quality and reliable availability in specialized record stores and mail-order shops. Together, Cleopatra / Cargo stand for a catalogue that appeals to dedicated fans of underground and alternative culture, making this LP a fitting addition to their roster. | | | No. of tracks: |
