SPIRIT
COFFIN PUBLISHING is proud to present JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS' highly
anticipated third album, Infinite Universe Infinite Death, on CD, vinyl
LP, and cassette tape formats.
JOURNEY
INTO DARKNESS is the solo project of Brett Clarin, ex-guitarist for
classic death metal band Sorrow (Roadrunner, 1991-1993). His music
manifests as a unique brand of symphonic black/death metal with
dark-yet-expansive orchestral layers. Sinister, oppressive, and
otherworldly melodies are the focus whilst maintaining a class ear for
heaviness and intensity.
"Infinite
Universe Infinite Death', my third album, is a culmination of over 30
years of songwriting. This album is meant to be a more complete
transition into symphonic black metal while maintaining my originality
in the genre by blending some of my early death/doom roots when I played
in Sorrow in the 1990s with my previous synth/orchestral elements from
my prior two albums. Melody that conveys a sense of darkness,
oppression, and the indifference of our known universe was at the heart
of this album." - Brett Clarin

Check out some of the press this release has already gathered!
In
my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Journey Into
Darkness and if you are fan of symphonic black, doom and death metal,
you should check out this album. - ADifferentShadeOfBlackMetalZ
The
song has a pronounced theatrical quality, which comes through not only
in the feelings of dread induced by the haunted organ-like chords and
the lunacy transmitted by calliope-like arpeggios but also in the
call-and-response of the adamant barking growls and the extravagant
screams and cries in the vocal department. The music generates a
thoroughly diabolical atmosphere as it twists and turns…. - No Clean Singing
Continues
to blast and howl like an icy ride through hyperspace delivering anthem
after anthem of symphonic black metal mixed with some death metal
horror and the gloomy eeriness of darkwave music. - The Independent Voice
Journey Into Darkness - Infinite Universe Infinite Death - MoshPitNation
I have a colossal speech about the album, but to put it on paper is another story. - Author – Michael Litteral
Clarin’s mind of the unending depths of eternal darkness (i.e., space) merges haunting passages with brutal heft. - Decibel Magazine
Infinite
Universe Infinite Death introduces us to an intense progression into
this orchestral and violent universe that gives life to powerful riffs
and howlings you need to listen to! - Acta Infernalis
Infinite
Universe, Infinite Death is an expansive collection of symphonic
blackened death metal that is as otherworldly as it is obliquely
oppressive! With Brett Clarin’s ongoing passion for all things extreme
clear to hear, Infinite Universe, Infinite Death is very much an album
that is as honest as it is heavy, as experimental as it is enthusiastic
and as atmospheric as it is antagonistic. Subsequently, anyone for an
ear for music that thinks ‘big’ and embraces the epic should find much
to enjoy here. - Worship Metal
Make
the album experience a gripping one from start to finish, though in
almost all instances the elaborate keyboard overlays and accents
maintain the feeling that we are witnessing pageantry on a vast and
alien scale. - NCS
With
this third full-length, Journey Into Darkness have painted a
near-perfect aural picture of galactic ghastliness. What a journey
Infinite Universe Infinite Death is! - Metal-Rules.com
The
frostbitten grandeur of the aforementioned Emperor is a closer match
for the atmosphere laid bare here, albeit with a much clearer production
and a significant helping of death metal in the primordial soup.
Clarin’s clearly got a vision for the freezing, uncaring, endless void
of horror that is the cosmos. Additionally, and more importantly, he has
more than sufficient chops to convey it. When you redirect your
attention to the riffs, there are a lot of damn good ones crammed in the
tight 35 minutes of running time. - Angry Metal Guy
JOURNEY
INTO DARKNESS has just released an absolute banger of a symphonic black
metal album in “Infinite Universe Infinite Death”. Brett Clarin of
classic death metal band SORROW fame has created a cosmically malignant
orchestral annihilation of the universe in this epic masterpiece. I can
literally feel the walls of creation closing in upon me as I’m being
barraged with blast beats and stringed instruments. The dynamic vocal
style of black and death metal vocals really sets this music apart from
most other symphonic black metal acts. All in all, JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS
delivers a very well thought out and original addition to symphonic
black metal and it would be a tragedy for a fan of such a genre to go
without giving it a spin. I promise you there are ideas and concepts
within it that you WILL NOT hear anywhere else. - Metal-Temple.com
