We’re excited to bring you exclusive news that UK independent record label Blackest Rainbow will be releasing The Maleficent Monster And Other Macabre Stories, the new solo album from avant grade composer Andrew Liles. The 40-minute album covers a vast amount of ground including austere orchestral pieces, voodoo drums, torture porn, possession, cheesy 80′s soundtracks, Giallo, 70′s synths, mellotrons, flutes, piano and much much more.

To celebrate this announcement, we have two tracks from the album for you to stream below as well as the exclusive artwork reveal, which was done by Graham Humphreys, who did the artwork for the upcoming Death Waltz City Of The Living Dead reissue (see here).

There will be two editions, each released on colored 180-gram vinyl, one limited to 150 (black glove and silver blade swirl) and the other 350 (slime green and blood splatter). Pre-orders for this album will be going up this Friday at a random time, so keep an eye out on Blackest Rainbow Records’ Bandcamp to snag your copy. Make sure to follow Blackest Rainbow Records on Twitter as they’ll be announcing the pre-order!
