Wither are a band from Australia that mixes depressive black metal with funeral doom and "Necropolis" is their 2012 new album. Featuring a very diverse and depressing sound, this band will surely put you on suicide watch after listening to 50 minutes of brilliant Funeral Doom with some Black Metal and Gothic Rock elements.

Paul Bley Trio - Paul Bley (p); Mark Levinson (b); Barry Altschul (dr). Recorded live at "Hildebrandzzal", Haarlem, NL, 4.11.1966.
The most relevant stages in Paul Bley’s musical works were however his trio formations. The bassists Steve Swallow, Eddie Gomez, Kent Carter or Mark Levinson and the drummers Pete LaRoca, Barry Altschul or Paul Motian played with him. This live recording at a concert in Haarlem, Holland is a good example at the "mastery" at a Paul Bley trio.

Portuguese writer José Luís Peixoto wrote a novel, O Antídoto (The Antidote in Portuguese) that came out at the same time as the album. They both share the same story and concept and each chapter of the book is meant to go with its corresponding song on the album. There was also a special edition included the book in electronic format.
