Third pressing of this debut CD by German Neofolk legends Sonne Hagal. Twelve Neofolk pearls, that compete with the best acts in this field. Acoustic guitars, fine strings and pleasant vocals are the main musical ingredients. Sonne Hagal plays a traditional style of Neofolk, reminding in places of classic Death in June. But the music on this album never sounds boring or stale - rather always fresh with good melodies. Most lyrics are in German and deal a lot with runic themes. Guest appearances by Andreas Ritter (Forseti) and Kim Larsen (Of The Wand And The Moon). Digipak.
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. 6-panel, die-cut digipak. Orange artwork edition.
