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.

Damp Chill of Life

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

Absolutely strong, black and bitter, like a cup of good old coffee or a properly packed pipe of strong tobacco. The album won't let you go unless you listen through it since the very first minute to the very last one, sunken in the frozen obsydian abyss. 10/10. lanserger22
