ARTEFACTUM - 'Foxgloves & Bluebells' CD (Old Europa Cafe / Ur Muzik)
As one of the very few representatives of what might be labelled as feminine ambient music, Artefactum remains the embodiment of unique characteristics: deep and warm ambient intertwined with sounds of nature, ritual bells, remote drumming and sensual vocals. While still within the borders of ambient, this release also contains a collection of beautiful songs inspired by old poetry and mysterious folklore. With wonderful guest appearances from neo-medieval The Soil Bleeds Black, British folk singer Andrew King and neoclassical Dawn & Dusk Entwined, “Foxgloves & Bluebells” is a must-have release for anyone into esoteric post-industrial music. 6-panel digipak.

DAWN & DUSK ENTWINED - 'Cathédrales De Brume' CD (Aube Et Crépuscule)
Dawn & Dusk Entwined keeps following its path with a soundtrack to the sci-fi novel "Cathédrales de brume" by the French authors Oksana and Gil Prou. The album succeeds in crystallizing and magnifying the various adventures of a surreal plot, creating a soundtrack about the destiny of a human condemned to wander simultaneously in the arcanes of space and of his inner psyche. Creating such a soundtrack allows more freedom to explore alternate musical fields and schemes, offering here a full instrumental album with often shorter tracks but also far more different and surprising atmospheres, ranging from the recognizable D&DE trademark martial and symphonic sound, to dark ambient through lighter melodic pieces and onirical fantasies.

DAWN & DUSK ENTWINED - 'Vanitas Vanitatum' CD (Twilight Records)
Re-release of "Vanitas Vanitatum", originally issued on Aube Et Crépuscule (2007, Ltd x 99). Six songs of decadent and gloomy atmospheres, now with three exclusive new versions of songs originally featured on “The Hikimori songs” 10". The revered French project Dawn & Dusk Entwined follows its uncompromising path of heavily atmospheric and dynamic soundscapes, mixing cinematic dark ambience with forceful, at times martial, rhythms, neofolk nuances and strong orchestration, carefully avoiding the clichés of all those styles. In an era where man was placed at the center of creation, vanities paintings in the 16-17th century were meant to recall him his mortal fate and greater values, God at the time, than human pretension, consumerism, cheap entertainment... Maybe now it's questioning time again? Digipak.
GOLGATHA AND DAWN & DUSK ENTWINED - 'Sang Graal' CD (Cold Meat Industry)
’Sang Graal’ is an opus magnum, built in symbiotic collaboration during the last two years by the French masters of martial neo-classic Dawn and Dusk Entwined and the German Ritual-folk-band Golgatha. Both bands worked on all tracks together, combining their styles and forces to create a powerful neo-classical-folk-opera with occasional glimpses of soundtrack pathos and dark ambience. Martial tunes like ’The Messiah’ or ’Cross of Lorraine’ and majestic folk hymns like ’Crusade’ and ’A Seeker Divine’ will rule the darkest dance floors worldwide, while introspective ballads invite those interested in a deep listening experience. The title refers to the myth of the Saint Graal, the ’holy grail’, and the ’sang réal’, the bloodline of Jesus Christ. ’Sang Graal’ is true aural mythology! Digipak.
