With the release of her Godslastering: Hymns Of A Forlorn Peasantry, Hulder made it known that the pure traditional black metal of earlier releases could be classical, rich in detail and creatively novel once again. A triumphant debut that indicated much more to come. On her new mini-album The Eternal Fanfare, Hulder expands the scope laid out on the debut, taking the production value to new places with more low-end depth and forceful resonance. The songwriting capability continues to sharpen into a dense confluence of her disparate influences such as on the cinematically expansive “Burden Of Flesh And Bone” and “Sylvan Awakening,” to the cold stormblast ferocity of the title track. Opener “Curse From Beyond” is a celestial atmospheric piece akin to Dead Can Dance at their most mysteriously plaintive, while the pensive lament of closer “A Perilous Journey” concludes The Eternal Fanfare with an aura of melancholic finality. The Eternal Fanfare presents a stark interlude between the Godslastering album and the forthcoming second full length. Yet on its own, its a powerful statement of haunting new horizons and evolving mastery, ascendent and bottomless at once.
Two years after the release of their last album “Wolves Among The Ashes”, Svart Crown comes
back with a sixth and new opus. The EP, called “Les Terres Brûlées” will be released as a coproduction
between the band’s label Nova Lux Production and Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Productions.
Just like a return to the basics, the five tracks that compose this EP form up a sulfuric halo between
rage and transcendance. Recorded in several Southern France places and once again mixed by
Francis Caste at Saint-Marthe studio, the organic, made for live production gives a suffocating
warmth to the album’s five pieces. Like a kind of epitaph, “Les Terres Brûlées” is a true abstract of
the band’s 18 years of experience.
The first track to be revealed, “Digitalis Purpurea” is an astral journey through the
inconscience limbo. A chaotic vision of its own death warrant, between dream and reality,
where fire, opiates and sulfur smell coexist.
Finally back in stock in a brilliant new color variation!
Lys is the mastermind of Enisum, the well-known Italian atmospheric black metal band. After focusing on his main band for over a decade, the time came for the musician from Val di Susa to temporarily focus on something different. Here comes Silent Woods, Lys first solo album, a mélange of atmospheric black metal, acoustic music, nature, landscapes, mountains, rivers and forests.
Similar to yet different from his main musical endeavours, Silent Woods shows a varied sound palette, with the usual Enisum references (Agalloch, Wolves In The Throne Room and the Pacific Northwestern scene) and some twists. Acoustic guitars and clean vocals find their way in, and so do more extreme elements, such as gurgling screams and hypnotic, circular guitar riffs with clear depressive black metal references (Xasthur, Leviathan and the likes).
Come join Lys in his new venture through the woods of Northwestern Italy. Avantgarde Music will take you to the Alps on October 29th.
This is an offer to purchase the 4 tapes in bundle at 40.00€ instead of 48.00€ (if you would buy them individually)
