Commended by Outburn in an 8/10 review for its “depressing dynamics topped by ethereal wonderment,” Constantinople was released stateside via Neurot Recordings late this Spring and continues to reap critical accolades from fans and critics alike. A collusion of musical forces precipitated by the haunting and inimitable vocal prowess of singer/bassist Sera Timms (Black Math Horseman), IDES OF GEMINI paint dark black tapestries of sound that are at once delicate and menacing.

“…a dirg-y doom crawl of an album…” – Decibel
“Processional doom, ethereal female harmonies and
high-strung riffs incite head-bowing, not -banging.” – Spin
“IDES OF GEMINI perceptively balance subtlety
with dexterity, appreciating that music with this much emotive potential
requires poise and sagacity. “ – Hellbound
“…darkly beautiful…” – Pitchfork
“…haunting and intriguing…” – The 1st Five
“…a proverbial treasure chest in terms of atmosphere,
ideas and contrasting musical textures…original and breathtaking.” – About.com
“Their accretion of small musical gestures inverts
metal’s normal use of space. They imply terror without ever exposing it. Each
song is an accumulation of outlines, a sort of sonic daguerreotype.” –
MetalSucks
“…music that calls to mind deserts and tundras, angry
ghosts emerging from the ether.” – RVA Mag
“Whereas Black Math Horseman makes you feel as if you’ve
taken a wrong turn into a desolate medieval village, illuminated by the flicker
of mere lanterns, IDES OF GEMINI hovers above complete
darkness in a realm that can only be felt by those who welcome it.” – This Is
Not A Scene
