Import from EU. 180g black vinyl, hand numbered out of 200 copies. Offset printed foldover sleeve and black polylined inner sleeve inside a sturdy transparent outer sleeve.

Ethereal lofi darkwave recorded in 1994 by Matthew Davis of Secret Stariways, releasing on vinyl.

Before Secret Stairways there was Tears ov Blood. A dark atmospheric music project started in the early 90s by a solitary artist in Massachusetts, working in different underground music spheres under a strict DIY ethos. Something he kept at in various forms and guises until he passed away in 2011. While mostly venerated on the contemporary dungeon synth scene for his Secret Stairways project from the mid-to-late 90s, the mysterious melancholy atmospheres are also easily recognisable on the earlier 'Infinite Winter' album as well, which was circulated briefly as a demo tape back in the day.

It was released officially for the first time by Gondolin in 2022 as a tape edition made in collaboration with Matthew's sister, who is maintaining his archive and artistic legacy with much dedication. This vinyl reissue features the same content: A hidden possibly partial track from the Infinite Winter demo tape. Two bonus tracks attributed to the Tears ov Blood project in Matthew's notes. Artwork with an artist portrait from the period and a scan of the demo tape liner notes.
