Funeral Fog YomaBarr reminded me I forgot to take this off my wishlist & just purchase it. These backing vocals added with lead vocals & great atmosphere. This is a wild ride!

YomaBarr It's brilliant. It's like Ascension, Waldgeflüster, 0 (Iceland) and Ascese were fairy devilmothers to this child (keeping in mind a child doesn't take after its devilmothers).
And baritone guitar. Yesssssss.

J. Wukotich This is easily one of the best albums of 2020. I have listened to it a dozen times, and it continues to blow my mind, teaching me something new each time around. It is a masterful piece of art.

---

Amherawdr formed in Devon with the intention of writing heartfelt black metal music inspired by the bleak romance and mysticism of ancient Britain. A handful of songs known as The Hidden Valley sessions were composed that most likely will not see the light of day, but this creative period culminated in 2010 with the writing of 'Adorned with the Figures of Snakes', the definitive statement of that original potent intent. Recording of this song was almost completed the following year, but internal differences resulted in an amicable decline that left the band moribund. Winds change, seasons turn, dust gathers.

Since then efforts have been made to bring to completion this sonic portrait of the heart of old Dumnonia and make it available for those who would listen.

The band 'as was' is certainly dead and buried, but none can say whether Amherawdr may not one day give voice again.
