Leave a comment

At present, the Berlin atmospheric black metal horde ARDE stream their second full length ‘Ancestral Cult’ on BLACK METAL PROMOTION in its entirety, click on the link below to listen:

WOLVES OF HADES, ALERTA ANTIFASCISTA & DARKWOORDS are thrilled to announce that on October 28th, the second full-length ‘ANCESTRAL CULT’ by ARDE, shall be unleased.

This 37-minute epic opus is dedicated to ancient cults about goddesses and the female figure which holds a central place in many ancestral cultures.

BIOGRAPHY


The genesis of ARDE extends back to the year 2017 in Berlin, Germany. Essentially aiming at a sound which applied inspirations extending through the D-Beat/Crust sonic ranges. Momentarily the collective brought forth a different pallet of influences, predominantly from the further atmospheric and dense realms of Black Metal. With the 2018’s self-titled debut recording, ARDE inflicted a mass of ravishing Black Metal into this dying world as the impending doom of our creation is projected unto us day by day. As the dark veil of the current pandemic spread its vicious tentacles, the German collective handled its lockdown by focusing on the writing of a new tome. Which became ‘ANCESTRAL CULT’.



Released on Tape and Vinyl through WOLVES OF HADES in conspiracy with ALERTA ANTIFASCISTA and CD through DARKWOORDS. Experience and nourish the magic, the light and the shadow, the sacred healing nature of our Mother Goddesses on an all-out epic journey of Black Metal ecstasy.

(review) Alone – I – IV

2 Comments

cover

Not much is known about entity called Alone except that it hails from Canada and this is its first release. Opus called I – IV because there are four songs on this one, being a bit longer and called The wars, The sea, The hunt, The cavern. Music of Alone can be described as melodic yet fast black metal with some really melancholic riffs and melodies beneath all the blast beats and aggression. My personal favorite is The hunt being the longest song on the opus but having most atmosphere from anguish and aggression of primal black metal to calm acoustic parts which fit perfectly to the overall mindset of the song. Vocals are crushing and screaming their lungs off and I think that they are just perfect for this kind of black metal. This is a good one, so if you are a fan of such music, go grab this one.
