Ach, Hungary. Lovely land and our neighbors not even thirty kilometers from my hometown is Croatian-Hungarian border. BlackWeald is a dark ambient/drone project from that land, with a touch of dungeon synth and epic melodies here and there in 14 songs that are featured on this new opus. What I love about this one is that it does not get boring or repetitive for one second. The slow gradation of eerie horror atmosphere creeps in with length and solitude of this music. This one is an atmosphere of careless Summer hot corn and wheat fields of Hungary turning into something sinister, death itself, but us being to closeminded and stupid to see it and acknowledge it. This reminds me why I love horror and why I love music like this one. The usage of old samples in Hungarian only adds to the overall creepiness and feeling of loneliness, dread, suicide, depression and anguish. This is not for everyone, but selected few will appreciate this one. I know I do.
Here is the little throwback for you. Norway´s Immortal are for me one of the greatest black metal bands of all times. Their frost rimmed vision is sure to inspire and bring Northern darkness to many creatures out there.
Theirs was the blast beat, theirs was epicness in later works, also their was great songwriting that still brings chills and goosebumps to my skin
Here is their first e.p. Sadly Immortal are battling in court about name and rights to the music. It should never have ended like that.
thePicassos are back with another single, “Scarecrow’s Lament”, available now on all major streaming services, as well as download services including Bandcamp. Demonstrating thePicassos’ unique style of horror folk, this track features instruments including banjo and accordion to examine the emotional turmoil of a lonely scarecrow somberly witnessing the demise of its surroundings.
