Description
A cathartic journey through downfall and uprising, of accepting man's futility and insignificance in a greater (cosmic) scheme.
VástÃgr is the solo project of Ã. (HÄg, Ill Tidings and several other projects), Austrian composer, guitarist and singer. VástÃgr debut, Aura Aeternitatis, was released by Avantgarde Music in 2019 and impressed all those who dared entering its realm.
A perfect blending of atmospheric black metal and dissonant, complex structures typical to the Icelandic scene, VástÃgr music is one of the very rare cases in which a black metal artist is actually crafting something personal and unique.
After a five-year long silence, VástÃgr is back with its sophomore album, The Path of Perdition, a cathartic journey through downfall and uprising, of accepting man's futility and insignificance in a greater (cosmic) scheme.
As described by Ã., 'the eternal cycle goes ever on and could not care less what happens to us. Eventually the wheel of time crushes us all like insects. What remains is memory, ruins, ashes, until even those fade into oblivion - and the knowledge that the cycle shall repeat itself, for better or worse'.
Produced in Iceland at Studio Emissary by Stephen Lockhart (Rebirth of Nefast and producer for Sinmara, Svartidauði, Nexion and many more), The Path of Perdition will feature once again a cover art by French artist Metastazis, who created art for Blut Aus Nord, Alcest, Amorphis, Ondskapt and many other prominent artists. VástÃgr new album will see the light on May 24th, 2024, on CD, LP and digital.
