Apocalyptic landscape of rich gothic guitars and intense rhythms divulge a desperate world with unnerving whispers.

Lycia’s 1993 albumA Day in the Stark Corner is back in print, now remastered with a bonus out-take from the original sessions. On the follow-up to Ionia, Mike Van Portfleet continues his pursuit of an apocalyptic landscape of extremes in which rich gothic guitars and intense rhythms divulge a world of bleak desperation with that unmistakeable unnerving whispered voice. Peter Steele of Type-O Negative said about A Day in Stark Corner: “Such simple hypnotic beats, everything is drowned in reverb. Yet, the emotion comes through so loud and clear. It’s just devastating, as beautiful as it is devastating.”

Music TAP “A Day in Stark Corner is a sonic gem. Frighteningly real, defining of soul, and a barometer of the depths of mood, this album with its altering compositions spares no quarter when exploring the listener. The house of A Day in Stark Cornerhas no comfortable guest rooms. It requires bravery to venture into. But once you’re in you might find yourself a lifelong dweller by choice. The music is adventurous, chilling, and eternal. -M Rowe
