"The idea of Interwoven—an acoustic journey tracing one song from each chapter of our discography—was first envisioned on the very day UADA was conceived: October 1st, 2014. In those early conversations, when I laid out the future I sought to create, and recall sharing the concept of a stripped, atmospheric interpretation, supported by the haunting resonance of strings—cello or violin. At the time, the notion was met with skepticism, perhaps even dismissal. Yet it was an idea I knew would one day take form. It had to.
UADA has always drawn from a wide spectrum of influences—many of which extend far beyond the traditional boundaries of black metal. With Interwoven, we sought to peel back the layers and reveal the vastness of these realms; to immerse the listener in both the foreign and the familiar, in textures that challenge and comfort in equal measure.
More than a sonic experiment, this album was a deliberate act of vulnerability. It was a personal and collective trial—a chance to step outside the acquainted shadows and embrace the uncertain light. The earliest intent was to craft something primitive and ritualistic, echoing the ancestral tones of ancient Pagan folk. Vocally, we anticipated a palette of whispers, chants, and throat singing. There was never a plan to explore clean, melodic singing—until an improvised vocal passage in Djinn revealed something unexpected. That unscripted moment sparked the foundation of what would become this album. With the band’s enthusiastic support, the recording process began—without a script, without rehearsal, and with full commitment to spontaneity and truth."

VIA DOLORIS is the singular vision of Gildas Le Pape, shaped by solitude, discipline, and an uncompromising sense of craft. Rooted in Nordic black metal tradition yet guided by melody and introspection, the project traces a deeply personal inner journey. “Guerre et Paix” is an album of tension and balance, where shadow and light coexist in measured dialogue. Across seven expansive compositions, VIA DOLORIS explores the fragile architecture of the human psyche, moving through despair, rupture, and fleeting moments of clarity. The music favours restraint over excess, allowing melody to lead with quiet authority. Guitars unfold in long, expressive arcs, while rhythms remain deliberate and grounded, anchored by the nuanced drumming of Frost (Satyricon, 1349). Shifting between French, English, and Norwegian, language carries its own emotional gravity. Folk and pagan echoes surface subtly, lending the album a timeless, almost ritualistic atmosphere. For fans of BATHORY, SATYRICON, KAMPFAR. Artwork by Linnea Syversen
