Description
Colossal debut album by new black metal sensation from Iceland/Austria
Despite the imposing wintriness of the cover art, this first song has the ebullient mood of a thronged carnival in full swing. The reverberating notes sparkle and dance, soar and swirl. The music grows more frenzied, ever-bursting with extravagant drumwork, and darkness creeps into the atmosphere even before the manic exuberance briefly abates, and moodiness descends.
Yet even in the moments when the riotous drumming and roaring vocals fall silent and the music becomes melancholy, the gleaming guitar melodies prove entrancing. If winter is in the music, maybe it's the iciness of a blizzard lit by the sun, carrying us aloft amidst the shining snowflakes, scattering in the wind.
'Ouroborus' is the second track on Aura Aeternitatis, the debut album of the Austrian band VástÃgr. It was produced by Stephen Lockhart (the maestro of Ascension Festival -- at which VástÃgr will deliver their first live performance) at Iceland's Studio Emissary, and it features cover art by Metastazis based on a photograph taken by Benoit Fabre. I'm not sure when the albm will be released. However, this single is available for download now:
