FiXT artist Blue Stahli has released Antisleep Vol. 03, an instrumental album of apocalyptic Electronic Rock and Ambient Noise geared for Film and TV, along with crafting a dark-pop mash-up of the album’s “Atom Smasher” with Fever Ray's “The Wolf”, available for FREE download.

"Since the songs on Antisleep Vol. 03 are all instrumental, I had to satisfy my craving for doing vocals in some capacity. Fever Ray is one my favorite artists and the aim was to have this weird union be something to soundtrack whatever strange rituals you’re compelled to perform out in the woods (provided you still have an iPod handy). If you find your eyes rolling back into your head, your body shaking uncontrollably, and you begin speaking in tongues when listening…that’s totally normal. Just let it happen." - Blue Stahli

Critically-acclaimed American folk rock band THE MOUNTAIN GOATS recently covered IN SOLITUDE’s “The Monolith”. Footage of the performance, filmed at The Hopscotch Festival, in Raleigh, North Carolina in September can be found here. The original studio version of “The Monolith” can be heard on IN SOLITUDE’s self-titled album, which was reissued today via Season of Mist.

Originally released in 2008, this sold-out and much sought-after album includes two bonus tracks: “Hidden Dangers (In the Night)” - originally recorded in 2006 and only available on an out-of-print 2008 7” and the previously unreleased “Faceless Mistress” demo.

The re-issue is available in three different editions; CD jewel case with slipcase (international edition), CD jewel case (North American edition), and a limited edition double gate-fold Lp (45 rpm for enhanced sound!) with a poster and digital download card.

Both CD editions, the gate-fold LP, t-shirts and CD+shirts bundles can be ordered at the Season of Mist E-shop.
