  bio    : |
     The career of Holland's Celestial Season was characterized
     by two very distinct stylistic phases, as the group started
     out life as a somber, epic-minded doom metal band, then shifted
     gears a few years later to conclude its existence as a groovier,
     rock-based stoner group. This might seem like a minor difference
     upon first glance, but one listen to the group's first and final
     albums reveals just how much wiggle room actually exists between
     the further reaches of these two sister genres.  Inspired by the
     work of doom metal giants such as Candlemass and Saint Vitus,
     Celestial Season formed in 1991 and initially featured vocalist
     Stefan Ruiters, guitarists Robert Ruiters and Jeroen Haverkamp,
     bassist Lucas van Slegtenhorst, and drummer Jason Bong-Ra
     Kohnen. The Promises demo and Flowerskin EP from 1992 set the
     stage for their independent debut of the following year, Forever
     Scarlet Passion, which boasted competent if rather unadventurous
     pure doom metal.  The similarly slothful and depressing Solar
     Lovers album from 1995 would redress this issue somewhat,
     enriching the band's sound with the addition of full-fledged
     violin arrangements, courtesy of Jiska ter Bals and Maaike
     Aarts. Guitarist Pim van Zanen and guitarist/bassist Olly Smit
     had replaced Haverkamp and van Slegtenhorst for this release
     (which was supported by a European tour with countrymen the
     Gathering), but before the year was out, Celestial Season would
     undergo a drastic metamorphosis with the arrival of new singer
     Cyril Crutz and the transitional Sonic Orb EP. Inspired by the
     new gospel being preached by California desert stoner rock combos
     such as Masters of Reality, Fu Manchu, and especially Kyuss, the
     group was soon stripped down to the bare-bones quartet of Crutz,
     van Zanen, Smit, and Kohnen for the recording of 1997's brusque
     creative facelift, Orange. Signifying a virtual product relaunch
     of Celestial Season Mark II, the album delivered a surprisingly
     convincing California desert party feel, considering it was
     coming from a Dutch band. But with the subsequent departure
     of last remaining original member Kohnen (replaced by former
     Kong drummer Rob Snijders), there was no denying that Celestial
     Season had effectively become an entirely new group. This lineup,
     plus new bassist Jacques de Haard, carried on for three further
     releases of pounding stoner rock, namely 1999's Chrome (which
     led to appearances at the Dynamo and Roadburn festivals), 2000's
     Lunchbox Dialogues, and 2001's Songs from the Second Floor EP,
     before calling it quits, claiming that the band's musical quest
     had been fulfilled.  \nMEMBERS\nLast line-up     * Cyril Crutz

  news: |
    Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future" 
    obso-leet KOMA nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
    As a possible first in the scene (is it really?), we provide an nfo 
    that is designed to be both human and machine readable.
    It is not so interesting for the average joe ripper listener but it
    will be a useful tool for siteops, nukers, dupedb and archives 
    curators.
    Why this?
    Because we need a structure that can support metadata and UTF8.
    As years pass, dirnames are getting stuffed with more and more 
    metadata. It is impossible to parse 100% reliably because dirnames
    are just not designed to be storage for heterogenous metadata.
    With id3v2, vorbis and .yml.nfo files, we can fix this problem,
    we can have a more reliable dupechecking, automate common tasks,
    filter and sort releases based on different metadata, such as 
    label and have more useful subgenres e.g. acid techno, deep house, 
    djent...
    With .yml.nfo, you do not need read access to the media files and 
    id3 metadata, you can automate mandatory fields checks (eg. source
    codec, purchase url) 
    nfo files supporting the yaml format should have the extension 
    .yml.nfo 
    e.g. 00-alice-bob-cd-2018.yml.nfo 
    The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
    compatible.  The current schema will be published in the near 
    future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same 
    structure and set of keys.
  schema_version: 0.0.5
