Darsombra - Eternal Jewel CD Darsombra is Brian Daniloski Eternal Jewel, the second full-length album from Baltimore’s Brian Daniloski is a mix of improvised and structured recordings primarily composed on the baritone guitar. The tracks are best described as equal parts doom, psychedelic experimentation and 20th Century composition. From powerful and doom-drenched sections to minimal and shimmering to aggressive rhythms that sound like a pounding string section, Eternal Jewel is some of the strongest material yet from darsombra. The packaging for this release features letter-pressed metallic silver ink on thick black gatefold sleeve (printed by Portland’s Stumptown Printers.) The two inner pockets contain the disc on one side and two new stunning art pieces from artist/package designer Stephen Kasner on the opposite side.

Ecdysis toyed with melodic overtones to great effect and Eternal Jewel embraces them with open arms, making for a sound both wrathful and uplifting." - Hellride Music "There's a simplicity to the album's sound that is deceptive; by allowing things to remain uncluttered, the appearance of minimal (but still evolving) motifs become far more important than they would be in a more conventionally song-oriented environment. The album's overall sound is one of meditative, radiant transcendence; it's not just music to zone out to, but music with a deeply emotional core." - Dead Angel "Darsombra takes the multiple overdubbing of guitar drones to near orchestral extremes. On "Auguries" and "Night's Black Agents," his stacked guitar lines hover and tremble like strings, the complex weaving and reweaving of their opppressive cluster chords more reminiscent of Penderecki or Gorecki than any obvious metal reference points. "Drops of Sorrow" uses the brief starburst sound of overtone harmonics to build a shimemring space you might expect in Steve Reich or Terry Riley.
