ALLERSEELEN - 'Rauhe Schale' CD (Aorta / Ahnstern)
"Rauhe Schale" ('Rough Shell') is the brand new album from Austrian legends Allerseelen, which fascinates musically as well as visually. Everything moves and flows in a field of force between industrial, metal, folklore and pop. Lovers of bands like Nine Inch Nails, Einstürzende Neubauten, Laibach or Underworld could also fall in love with Allerseelen. Gerhard Hallstatt sometimes describes his music as Electronic Folklore or Apocalyptic Rock. But basically there is no real description for Allerseelen - all attempts to find an expression for their music may be valid for some time, yet lose their meaning after a couple of months or years. The songs were inspired by various magical mystery tours in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy and Slovenia. Gerhard is assisted here by Dimo Dimov (Svarrogh, Miel Noir, Sturmpercht), Marcel P. (Sagittarius, Halgadom), Meri Tadic (Eluveitie) and Annabel Lee (Blood Axis). 70 mins. of music in a digipak with booklet.
ÀRNICA is a Barcelona based project. The artist's interests are deep rooted in the ancient Iberian culture and traditions. Their music is a mix of traditional Pyrenees Folk and heathen Battle / Hunting songs. Their first full length album is a tale narrated by an old man as his last legacy to a casual traveller. In a hut and near by fire the traveler will be the depositor of ancient knowledge about forgotten gods, wisdom of life, tradition and statements of war. All lyrics and singing is in Spanish or Catalan. A wide range of instruments is used, on top of them accordion, guitars, drums and flutes. ÀRNICA play 100% Alpine Folk, creating wild and rural atmospheres, quite similar to their friends from STURMPERCHT, but just from the opposite part of the holy Alps. Digipak.
Dedicated to the Goddess Perchta, this 4-track release is based on recordings of traditional Perchtenläufe and nature. Different than most other music from Belborn this release (as one would expect being on Steinklang’s ‘Bavarian’ side-label), is more in the way of traditional German folk music. Belborn lead us on an acoustic journey through strange rites and ancient folkish rituals in the mysterious Rauhnacht. Ltd x only 365 hand-numbered copies on nice, thick vinyl!
DANNAGOISCHD - 'Emm Discda Ondrholz' Enhanced CD (Percht)
Dânnâgôischd (the ghost of the dark forest) is a project coming directly out of the deep Alpine and Swabian woods. "Emm Dichdâ Ondrholz" (in the dense brush-wood) features 16 tracks of Alpine Forest Folk, telling tales in ancient Swabian language about creatures living in darkest woods, with all their legends, atmospheres and myths. The atmosphere spreads between melancholy, tradition and pure forest life. Dreamy songs are mixed with dark and natural (sound)tracks, as well as with more folky tunes. "Emm Dichdâ Ondrholz" is a perfect trip to the misty fir tree forests. Dânnâgôischd is a project of Waldwuudz, alias cz (Vinterriket, Atomtrakt, Nebelkorona etc). Includes 2 video clips. Digipak.
Amazing and unique debut CD of the Swiss Ur-Folk project Fräkmündt, born out of the idea to revive old sagas and nearly forgotten songs and atmospheres of the alpine regions of Switzerland. Performed in alemannic central-Swiss dialect, the songs on "Urbärglieder" simulate a journey through landscapes of the quaint regions of Switzerland. They let you chase through stormwinds with the wild hunt at mount Pilatus or stroll under the paintings of the danse macabre over the Spreuerbridge in Lucerne. One can meet the devil in the Schöllenen gorge and follow the alpine herdsmen during their sad walk down to the valleys in autumn. The album is alternated by two sound-accentuated sagas and two atmospheric pieces, letting one share the horrors of the ghost-house in Stans and the mythical ambiance inside the Mondmilchloch cave. On "Urbärglieder" acoustic guitars, accordion, violin, flutes and various percussion instruments generate melancholic melodies full of nostalgia, but also rousing hymns which invite to dance. With "Urbärglieder" a piece of extraordinary Ur-Folk music was born, telling in its very own way the stories that are almost forgotten. Features cz (Vinterriket, Atomtrakt, Nebelkorona etc). Deluxe digipak with 16 page booklet.
"Uufwärts e d’Föuse" (Upward to the rocks) is a conceptual album which takes the listener on an imposing musical journey to untouched Alpine areas. As on "Urbärglieder" all tracks are presented in the typical Fräkmündt Central-Swiss alemannic dialect. After an "Alp-Blessing" ("Aupsääge"), the journey upwards is visualised using acoustic guitars, accordion, drums, hurdy-gurdy melodies and flute. The nighttime track “Höttehock” is a swinging and wild traditional dancing track with a catchy accordion melody and nice acoustic guitars. The last track "Stouz ond frey" (proud and free) is a devotional and powerful song with profound hurdy-gurdy, rhythmic guitar melodies and catchy accordion tunes. The MCD ends with a Dark Alpine Ambient track called "Bärgtröim" (Mountain Dreams) which smoothly leads the listener back to the valley. A varied 27-minute piece of extraordinary Ur-Folk music, which perfectly describes the mystic and legendary Alpine areas. Outsize sleeve.
"Wskrzeszenie" ("Resurrection") is about the forgotten in the turbulent history of the past century. One of a kind, unique, magical, intriguing, 18th and 19th century folk songs and contemporary folk songs of Warmia (North-East Poland), sung in the dialect of the language of the now dead. This artist produces cultural music, combining elements of traditional folk, progressive folk-rock and contemporary music of Warmia, with the highest level of composition and execution. The 'Hoboud' is a devilish creature which frequently appears in tales around the Warmia district and is comparable to the Austrian Perchten, golems, kobols and gnomes. File next to Moon Far Away. Presented in a luxurious 6-panel digipak with impressive booklet, containing all lyrics in English and Polish.

Going back to far away times, Hrefnesholt digs out long forgotten, ancient tales amongst the myths of the Upper Austrian forests.

A mixture of dark, organic Ambient, Folk, a slight Black Metal touch and spoken/sung lyrics and tales in Austrian dialect. Hrefneshold is pure Doom Folk and incomparable with any other music style.
