FOSCOR: Release Second Track from "Les Irreals Versions."
July 25, 2018
Catalan atmospheric metal band FOSCOR are now releasing the second track taken of their upcoming digital (only) album 'Les Irreals Versions', which will be released on August 24, 2018. The track "L.amor.t" can be viewed via the official Season of Mist YouTube channel at the link below.
FOSCOR comment on the track: "We must admit that 'L.amor.t' should be considered the seed for what we have tried to reach here at 'Les Irreals Versions' while covering our own music. Just after releasing 'Those Horrors Wither', the original version of that song was the real spark that one day made us try to take our music to the most intimate level we could reach.The new version comes dressed in a sort of balance between Dark Wave and Dark Ambient atmospheres, appealing to many other inspirational music we have grown with from the 80's to the current times. About the song, it digs into how love suffocates the human being, changes its nature and makes it weak and compelled with such not a distant horizon as Death."
'Les Irreals Versions', the title aptly translating to 'The Unreal Versions', can be seen as a continuation of the album 'Les Irreals Visions', released a little more than a year ago. Six tracks, taken from previous albums, have been re-arranged and recorded from zero. FOSCOR introduces different instruments to the compositions, creating a more intimate feel and ambient approach, ultimately taking the music to new boundaries.
Track-list:
1. Instants (5:50)
2. Altars (6:26)
3. Encenalls De Mort (7:44)
4. Espectres Al Cau (7:06)
5. Les Irreals Visions (7:15)
6. L.Amor.t (7:47)
Total playing time: 42:08
Catalan atmospheric metal band FOSCOR have never shied away from exploring the lines between reality, poetry and the beyond. With 'Les Irreals Versions', the band seeks to intensify their music and give new meaning to it.
Departing from their black metal roots of the first three records and building on the progressive foundations of 'Those Horrors Wither' (2014), the Catalans found a way to express darkness by using doom infused tempo's, heavy riffing and adding clean vocals on 'Les Irreals Visions' (2017). On the upcoming digital release, 'Les Irreals Versions', FOSCOR have even pushed beyond that, providing an alternative, yet no less enchanting perspective on their music.
The name FOSCOR translates as "darkness" in their native Catalan tongue, which the band from Barcelona often uses for their lyrics as a distinctive element and strong connection with their cultural reality.
FOSCOR hail from Catalonia, which is still yet largely unwilling part of modern Spain. With Barcelona as its capital, this region has a long artistic tradition with the fin de siècle style of Modernisme - a parallel development to Art Nouveau and Jugendstil among others - forming one of its major achievements. Catalonia has also left an audible mark in the extreme music scene of Spain in recent years.
FOSCOR are attracted to and build upon these foundations, while taking inspiration from the morbid, decadent, and sick reflections on a rapidly changing society that shaped the artistic landscape at the end of the nineteenth century.
