CD

Reissue of this Dungeon Synth cult classic from 1998. Comes as Collector's Edition in 4-panel Digipack with improved layout, limited to 500 copies.

Forged in the twilight of grand manor halls and secret gardens, this album unfolded like a whispered legend between 2021 and 2024 — where shadows dance with light and time drifts softly through castle ruins.

Adorn is more than just a musical endeavour; it is an act of devotion—to the transcendence of art once liberated from the sterile confines of modernity, to the melancholy of deserted halls, and to the fading glimmer of courtly love. By fusing romanticism with atmospheric blackened metal into compositions that veer between solemnity and splendour, the trio creates sonic worlds that shimmer with longing and luminosity.

At the helm is Coeur Loyale (vocals, guitar, bass), whose soul-shaped songs seek to revive a dreamed, not simply lost, world. He is joined by Valliant Desire (violin, piano, choral arrangements), whose melodies sound like ghosted letters from ancient hands, and Bon Valour (drums), whose rhythms echo through cathedral ruins like hooves.

Together, they form Adorn, a sacred community of song and sorrow that resurrects the grandeur of the past by utilising the emotional majesty of the present. They take listeners to a world of twilight where the stars are low, the roses never die, and the heart endures, ever ablaze with noble intent. Their music does more than just play; it hurts, mourns, and exalts.

Adorn is a gift for those who dream in sepia and find the modern world too pale for their desires. A cry into the night. A garland laid upon the altar of lost time. Romantic music for dreamers.

8 panels digipak CD

After two demo tapes, the essence of Serpent Dweller has been steeped into a deeper meditation of death worship. The first full length offering follows the experience of one unknowingly entering the afterlife; bewildering sights of what lies beyond the veil, dissolution of the ego, and the inescapable surrender at the end of mortality. Exploring themes of pain, loss, and the soul's journey through uncharted planes of existence, the omnipresent shadow of death is venerated at every turn.

All early recordings of this ancient Dutch Black Metal band. Tormented Black Metal for those into ancient obscurities as Fallen Temple, Bestial Summoning etc.
