Calgary's ALBANACH AR DHEIS and Seattle's NIHTWINTRE have joined forces to unleash 36 minutes of frostbitten black metal in the form of split EP available 14 May on cassette and digitally. The haunting cover artwork was painted by the renowned Dusty Peterson (HOTH, BLOODBATH, SIX FEET UNDER, MONGOL, OCEANO, etc.). The release is via Seattle's Epicurus Records.
ALBANACH AR DHEIS hails from Calgary, Canada helmed by Manås Reaver whose vision for his musical project is inspired by Scottish history. ALBANACH AR DHEIS contributed two tracks to the split. These songs form a narrative story about the Border Reivers ' raiders born out of turmoil and death. Who breathed life into anarchy within a nation trapped under boot. They razed encampments with utter disregard for all Roman blood. They are those we call saviors: the bold and the heroic. ALBANACH AR DHEIS evokes the terror and hate that comes with the crushing bitterness of war, the sorrows of the down-trodden, and the tumult of two nations in constant struggle. ALBANACH AR DHEIS showcases a mastery of the genre of atmospheric black metal and does great homage to battles and events long passed.
Side B of the split EP contains three tracks from Seattle's NIHTWINRE. NIHTWINTRE plays largely improvisational black metal steeped in necromantic black magic and the gloom of a natural world slowly rotting away. These songs are the strongest yet from NIHTWINTRE and deal with allegorical tales of awakening ancient evils, being tempted by the allures of black magic, and the imminent death of the natural world. NIHTWINRE unveils a crushing despair and palpable anger through howling vocals, thundering drums, and cutting guitars. NIHTWINTRE has never before sounded more competent and more mournful in this powerful follow-up to 2018's Blight EP.
