WOODS OF DESOLATION
As the Stars

jewelcase edition

3rd album from Australia's premier Depressive Black Metal band feat. mastermind D. along with session members from Drudkh, Nazxul, Pestilential Shadows and Drohtnung.

Haunting, melodic and intense Depressive Black Metal, delving further into melancholy and the essence of personal expression through music, which may occasionally remind the listener of another of Australia's finest, AUSTERE, as well as ALCEST, and perhaps "Brave Murder Day"-era KATATONIA.

First pressing 600 copies worldwide.

Australian visionary Woods of Desolation returns with ‘The Falling Tide’, a bewitching crescendo of atmospheric black metal and post metal elements.
Unlike the act’s Australian contemporaries who are known for their raw, unrefined grit, Woods of Desolation takes a different approach, showcasing the genre’s beauty and elegance with their grand melodic passages and radiant aura.

For fans of Drudkh, Fuath, Mgla, Deafheaven, Audn.
