...of the special edition of The Cold Gloaming by Procer Veneficus.
It's limited to twelve, and each one is dedicated to a month of the year. Night, the only member of this project, sent emails to the twelve would-be recipients asking them what month's copy they would like to have. I picked February, which is the month I was born, and said that if it was already taken, I'd also be willing to have August or December, both of which are also important times of the year for me.
He's also going to be mailing me a CD-r of the out of print demo Through Ash And Mountains, which is sort of a prototype to one of his upcoming releases, which he tells me will be a full-fledged folk album.
Altogether, that cost me $10, including shipping.
I've been talking to Night via email and Last.fm for a while. His project is called Procer Veneficus, and he makes black metal and dark ambient recordings. His sound has evolved in the few years since he started his project, but his vision for his music is still relatively the same, centered around channeling constellations and mysterious otherworldly atmoshperes.
He posted this message about two of his upcoming releases on his website recently:

Harvest moon – gorgeous night tonight. Anyway, things are slowly evolving (as they should). Alex has offered to pick up the reissue of "Deathwanderings" down the road. I am finishing the "Convoy" project and starting to breathe some wintry folk to life. A grand hierarchy is coming into view. There are larvae waiting to undergo metamorphosis; tectonics taking place. In the meantime... rest easy.
Convoy, Pt. 2 is his next black metal release, and he's been working on his folk project. I'll be excited to hear those albums. He also said he's probably going to record a thick blues album at some point. Maybe he'll even dabble in some kind of shoegaze-oriented project, since he adores that sort of music as well.

This is a song from the upcoming album, Convoy, Pt. 2. It's pretty incredible, so have a listen.
****, I knew I forgot to do something...
What did you think of this new song?
...
please excuse me while I kill myself :(
You'd better be serious this time.
Trust me, I am.
My life will never be complete again, knowing i'll never have a copy of this :(
How'd you manage to miss it? You don't even have to go outside to get a copy.
I missed it because I didn't hear about when it would be released or how many would be made...until it was too late :(
I heard about it before it happened from Omni and forgot lol
I KNEW there was a limited edition coming, I just didn't know the details :(
It's reasons like this why you guys need to listen to me more often.
it's reasons like this which lead me to envy you :(
