Valdrin is a U.S.-based melodic black metal band known for their intricate compositions, storytelling prowess, and immersive soundscapes. Since their 2010 inception, the Cincinnati-based band has been focusing on building their own narrative, skillfully crafting an elaborate sci-fi saga. Apex Violator is the latest chapter in the ongoing epic.
After celebrating its 10th anniversary in early 2025 with a special release (with a completely different artwork that remains exclusive to that edition), ENISUM's break-through album "Arpitanian Lands" is now available again in its original art form, although heavily revised.
"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."

CORONER came up with an even more daring, unconventional album in 1993's ‘Grin', which abandoned much of the thrash-based aggression of their early days and focused on challenging dynamics and eerie atmospherics. This move proved too radical even for longtime fans, ironically, and they remain split over the album's merits, some seeing it as a total sellout, while many others consider it the band's greatest triumph.
