Unearthed – Week 37
Astoreth & Forestaal deliver a nearly forty-minute improvisation, a musical ritual built from drones and vocals.
Stepping outside the usual genre boundaries, this week I’m also highlighting a Swedish neoclassical-darkwave band, Arcana. Their 2012 album “As Bright As A Thousand Suns”, originally released on Cyclic Law, is now available again on CD and vinyl.
Kloob and Onasander’s previous collaboration was already featured in an earlier recommendation, and now they return with a new joint project: Ethnea Nekrōn. Their release Exo-Metempsychosis explores the theme of cosmic rebirth through dark and space ambient textures.
From Helsinki comes Ruusuriimu (Csipkebogyó), offering transcendental apocalyptic folk with a touch of Hungarian connection. Their new album, “Tánc a rothadásért”, features Hungarian vocalists Vály Tekla and Csiszér Réka. Tekla also contributes lyrics and the cover photograph.
