Sonne Hagal’s second full-length album once more bestows the listener with a journey into the unknown realms of poetry, mysteries and enthralling melodies. Closely connected to Europa’s folk-music tradition and the Northern mysteries, the band develops song structures that reach from simple traditional arrangements to complex compositions. The songs, performed in German and English, reveal rediscovered poems as well as self-written lyrics. The atmosphere of the songs varies from intimate, quiet parts to fresher, light-hearted and lively sounds up to heavy distorted parts supported by real or electronic drums. Each song unfolds its own universe, interconnected by the central idea of “Jordansfrost”: the constant changing between light and darkness, the seasons or even life and death themselves. Guests: Of The Wand And The Moon, In Gowan Ring, Waldteufel, Ernte, Lux Interna, Darkwood and Black Sun Productions. Ltd x 500 copies with full colour inner sleeve.
Sonne Hagal releases with this new 7" vinyl single - yet another black pearl in European Neofolk history. Two intimate songs of silent beauty and subtle energy.

URUK-HAI - 'In Durins Halls (Return To The Mines Of Moria)' Enhanced CD (Runenstein Records / Bleichmond Tonschmiede / W.A.R. Productions)
The world was young, the mountains green, No stain yet on the Moon was seen... The world was fair in Durin's Day. Way back in 1999, Uruk-Hai recorded their first Demo "In Durins Halls" and a legend began. 11 years later that demo from 1999 has been re-arranged and remastered with totally new, epic and powerful soundscapes and rough Black Metal hymns featuring Pr. Sergiy from Moloch. "In Durins Halls" is rough, epic, dark and full of forgotten legends. The album was hidden for a decade in in the mines of Moria but now its unleashed! No harp is wrung, no hammer falls: The darkness dwells in Durin's Halls. Mastered at the Luftschutzkerker Studios Suisse by cz (Vinterriket, Atomtrakt). Contains a video entitled "In Durins Halls" Slimline DVD case.
