about

The Allegorist reveals The Round Table, a Blind Emperor remix album. It is part of the Blind Emperor saga and tells the story of the magical gathering at The Round Table in the shrine. Everybody who matter are joining, the doctor, the sorcerer, the alchemist, the warden, the prophet, the warrior, and the seer: Eraldo Bernocchi, Max Dahlhaus, KMRU, Magna Pia, Snakes Of Russia, Blush Response and The Allegorist.

The Tale of The Round Table (Blind Emperor remix album)
Written by The Allegorist

Meeting with the others in the shrine filled the air with tension. Everybody who mattered was supposed to come and join the conversation at The Round Table. Many have tried to enter, but the doors open only every hundred years if touched by the energy and all of them. It was crucial not to be late. The Blind Emperor and her convoy had to hurry and move forward. Her mind filled with thoughts: Will they all come? Have they changed? Is the monumental and mysterious shrine as they have said? Nobody knew what was going to happen inside, but everyone knew it would change everything.

About the album The Round Table (Blind Emperor remix album)

Early this year, Berlin-based artist The Allegorist came out with her 4th album, Blind Emperor. The layered project used the power of soundscapes to create a detailed fictitious story of a mythical land that trudges through struggles on its way to revelations of prosperity. The protagonist, the Blind Emperor, leads the charge into a brighter tomorrow in a textured aesthetic of an epic, cinematic, choral, ambient techno album. Anna Jordan (The Allegorist) has a holistic approach to her projects. She created the album art, wrote an included story and composed a poem that all combined to tell the imperial fantasy.

In another component of the aggregate story, The Allegorist is releasing The Round Table, a Blind Emperor remix album, including animations of an eclectic mix of coloured smoke representing each featured artist. She has also crafted a short story to go with the record, which depicts the origin of the Blind Emperor's momentous gathering. Six enthralling artists each take a track from the original album and reimagine them in their interpretation. The remixed work adds another chapter to the fable of Blind Emperor with new layers of edge, tension, divulgence, plot and twisting paths added through the much-anticipated meeting. 

The Round Table is a record with tracks that are remixes of The Allegorist's 4th album, Blind Emperor, out on her label, Awaken Chronicles on the 9th of September 2022.

The Tracks

The opening track is a 'Redwinged Phoenix' rework by Italian composer and sound designer Eraldo Bernocchi. With hallowed beckons, electrically tinged breaks and dreamy rifts, it carries ethereal sensations with pulsating drive. 

Next up is Berlin-based audio-visual artist and producer Max Dahlhaus's interpretation of 'Marching Crowd.' It has extraterrestrial synths, punishing percussions and symphonic keys that produce encaptivating melodies - depicting a journey down and through a wormhole where a welcome and basking light awaits on the other side. 

It is followed by ambient sound artist KMRU's 'Blind Emperor' remix. The track is an extraordinary soundscape that encapsulates meandering through a glacial valley. Incorporeal pads are layered and cocooned by a beguiling vocal whose lilt forms the raft that carries the listener through the terrain. 

Composer, producer and one-half of Cassegrain, Magna Pia's take on lead single 'The Sacrifice' is a punchy techno stomper. It uses the original synths and gives them a pacy tempo with pumping percussions, crisp snares and frosty hats. 

Penultimately is 'Moving Forward' by Californian electronic project Snakes Of Russia. The synths begin solemnly but expand into triumphant expressions compounded by slow yet powerful drums. Oscillating sounds and light hits add textures to an audio canvas. 

Finally, EBM and industrial techno producer Blush Response's remix of 'War Priests.' His signature rolling cavernous percussions are surrounded by screeching bellows leading to a battlefront production that encapsulates the track's title - a defiant end to a storied project.
