In Bolskan a conceptual work by Kazeria & Aphlar Label: Gradual Hate Records GH 129 CD Format: CD, EP, Limited Edition , Digifile Country: Spain Released: 2016 Style: Martial, Neoclassic, Dark Folk
Kazeria, the well known Martial / Neoclassical act from Argentina, presents its latest work: “In Bolskan”; an epic journey evoking the ancient past of northern Aragón, in the Kingdom of Spain. During a recent travel to that region, Kazeria conceived the album to express its impressions on archaic traditions and the great symbolic heritage found there.
The album was composed by the fruitful collaboration between Kazeria and Aphlar, a rustic and energetic neofolk act, also from Buenos Aires. The tracks deliver a sophisticated blend of ritual ambient; martial percussions (taken live from the traditional drummers of Huesca; the town once named Bolskan…) and a strong neofolk approach, due to Aphlar´s guitars and voice. These elements create an evocative atmosphere, dealing with pre-christian and medieval times.
To those familiar to the these styles and bands like Of The Wand and The Moon, Nebelung, Falkenstein, Raison D´etre, Apoptose or Ain Soph, they will find in “In Bolskan” a conceptual and very interesting album.

Common Eider, King Eider – Égrégore Label: Cold Spring – CSR271CD Format: CD, Album Country: UK Released: 14 Jun 2019 Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Experimental
Égrégore is a ritual collaboration between B.S.s. (Common Eider, King Eider) and Arexis (La Breiche, Coume Ouarnede, Stille Volk)… and all of the spirits of the Pyrenees present during those Dark Moon Rituals, wishing to speak.
Born under May’s New Dark Moon in 2018, born in secrecy, in darkness, in Ritual. Born in a tiny cabin in the Pyrenees of France… Rituals documented late into the night and early morning hours. Voices captured whispering, wailing, lashing out. Bells ring to both banish and invoke. Recorded live using electronics, rocks, antler, branches and voice. Four offerings given as gifts to the black air… the burnt soil… Gifts to the Spirits living in those forests and mountains of the Pyrenees. Dark moon folk magic…
Housed in a beautiful matte-laminate gatefold ecopak, with visuals prepared by Kevin Gan Yuen (Sutekh Hexen).
