For fans of The Days Of The Trumpet Call or Von Thronstahl! Ltd x 180 hand-numbered copies (of a total of 300 pressed - the other 120 copies were only available in the Helmond 'Box'). Presented in a square DVD case. ACT FAST!
German act Helmond consists of two artists: Marco M and Sascha B. Their music can best be described as something between neoclassical and dark ambient with a touch of electro. It deals with philosophy, mythology, sorrow and history. Great atmospheres are mixed with pounding drums and sampled speeches. Proud and bombastic orchestral tracks are suddenly possessed by choirs, pianos, nature sounds and martial influences. And these are only some of the ingredients that create Licentia Poetica. Reminds of early A Challenge Of Honour. Recommended!
SEELENLICHT - 'Love And Murder' CD (Trutzburg Thule)
Two years after the debut album, "Gods & Devils" (Cold Spring CSR86CD), Butow Maler (Kammer Sieben) and Troy Southgate (H.E.R.R.) present "Love and Murder". Accompanied by psychedelic guitar riffs, this album is far more song-based than their debut and follows the neoclassical path with sophistication and dynamism. From the social abyss of humanity and bittersweet murder ballads, to dark rune-prayers and the absurdity and brutality of World War I upon the bloody fields of Flanders‚ "Love and Murder" also devotes attention to Romantic literature by setting to music the poetry of Novalis and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Guests including Dev (While Angels Watch), Josef K. (Von Thronstahl) and Wulf Ingessunu (Woden's Folk) complete the apocalyptic cocktail of darkfolk and neoclassical music. Digipak with booklet.
