CD

Like strokes of inspiration, exquisite guitar melodies weave a fluent plethora of moods and emotions, showcasing a heavy classical influence. Undulant blast beats and biting screams serve as a counterpoint to pristine atmospheres and ethereal choirs, an obstinate reminder of the finite nature of man and his creations.

Here at the onset of a new decade, AARA presents a landmark of thoughtful, unorthodox Black Metal.

Drought is an entity spawned to channel its creators’ creative energy in a black metal form. The Tantric concept has been adopted to transform this energy into a tale of upheaval and elevation, using fire as a metaphor to celebrate spiritual transformation through cleansing, drawing purity from impurity. After a promising debut EP Drought fell into several years of silence, from which they will finally rise this spring to unleash their first full-length album, Trimurti.

As a Lotus grows from the swamp, enlightenment comes from improvement and regeneration. In Trimurti this theme is reprised from the previous ep Rudra Bhakti (2016, also on Avantgarde Music) and deepened, generating three suites - each explaining one of the three phases of this spiritual turmoil, as well as the three phases of Pranayama, and overall, the three phases of evolution: awareness - transformation - elevation. Nine tracks divided into three conceptual segments - this new opus develops and brings forth the tantric concept of the previous release, articulating it into a full spiritual blast of extreme music.

When asked to introduce the album, Drought said: “Trimurti represents the tantric chemistry of our creative energies and the ones kept within the sea, the mountains and the woods which surround us, channeled into music to celebrate the eternal life hidden in this world and in the ones behind it”.

Trimurti will be out on cd and lp (regular and limited) on May 15th / 22nd  

Melodic and grandiose Black Metal against the modern world. CD version limited to 200 copies. 

"Il Sentiero Dimenticato" è il nuovo album di Svart, che vede la luce il 23 Settembre 2019 in anteprima assoluta sul canale Bandcamp della label MASD RECORDS e prossimamente su tutti i digital store e in una speciale edizione fisica in digisleeve a 6 ante, limitato a 200 copie numerate.

L'album è stato composto tra il 1998 e il 2018 e registrato nell'inverno 2017/2018. Il processo di mix e master è realizzato presso i K.Recordings di Verona.

"Il Sentiero Dimenticato" ha un significato molto speciale per l'artista Svart, ripercorre 20 anni di esperienze musicali e vuole essere un omaggio alla scena symphonic black metal degli anni 90, in particolar modo a quella scandinava.
La maggior parte delle parti di tastiera risalgono a 20 anni fa, infuenzato da gruppi dell'epoca come Emperor, Limbonic Art, Godkiller, Kvist, Arcturus, Satyricon e molti altri. A distanza di 20 anni ritrova su polverosi floppy disk una gran quantità di materiale registrato all'epoca e decide di riarrangiarlo con l'aggiunta di chitarre, basso, batteria e voci.

SPECIAL GUEST VOCALIST:

-Davide Maria Semeraro (Mistigma, Nespithe, Xes Aeon, Medjugore)
