LEGER DES HEILS - 'Aryana' CD (Eis & Licht)
"Aryana" was first published as a LP / CD release in 2002, now available again in a new package with a bonus track. On their debut CD, Leger Des Heils present German poetry exquisitely set to unique and fresh sounding Neofolk, with beautiful symphonic orchestration and subtle, yet still highly effective, martial percussion - all of which produce a stunningly bombastic ‘European’ sound. Such poetry of course is not the work of contemporary writers, but Leger Des Heils leave it to the attentive listeners to search in the past for the authors of the verses. Comparisons could be made with Autopsia, Leitmotiv or Upsland, but the music of Leger Des Heils has an eminently German feel to it. Presented in a 6-panel digifile, ltd x 750.
