Until The End Of Time is a dark, expansive and cinematic journey that explores themes of loss and love, along with the notion that when you lose someone you love, you still love them until the end of time.

 

With songs ranging from ten to eighteen minutes in length, the album's soundscape is largely dominated by majestic analogue synthesisers and led by Mandala's trademark extreme dynamics. 

 

A kaleidoscope of prog, psychedelia, and folk.

 

A strictly limited-edition CD, available exclusively from Burning Shed.

Formed in London in 1997, Mandala have toured the UK, Scandinavia and North America over the years, playing at iconic venues such as CBGB's in NYC and The Marquee Club in London. Their blend of folk-noir, progressive rock, psychedelia — all wrapped in Marsh's atmospheric and dynamic melodies — has garnered acclaim and airplay across multiple countries, with singles A-listed on Radio Caroline, and chart success on iTunes in the UK and Canada.

 

Critics have praised Mandala’s “knife-edge atmospheres and Eastern-tinged melodies” (The Independent), with The Guardian describing their music as “folk-noir”, and Time Out highlighting their “melancholy-laden melodies”.

 

‘Until The End Of Time’ is the kind of album that needs to be listened to from start to end. The songs are long, and the themes expand and unfold gradually. There are elements of post-rock with the long build-ups, progressive rock with the sweeping Mellotrons, and a deep sense of melancholy.

 

The album features spoken word in three languages: English, Norwegian and Welsh. Marsh says that this verse can sum up the overall feeling of the album:

 

“The kingdoms of eternity

Will bring you here

Until the end of time

Where nothingness

Leads us into forever”
