    Released: 23 Mar 2018
    Style: Neofolk

    In March 2017 :werra: will bring a fresh gust of wind to the Neofolk scene with their new release “vente vent”. Six years after their debut “MMI-MMV” the musicians return with a full-length album that is interconnected by the motive of the wind of change.

    The album is comprised of catchy tunes, driving melodies and dreamy songs. It stands in the tradition of its predecessor with both original lyrics and traditional poetry set to music. The band – which has grown into a trio since the debut – continues to bring new accents to traditional Neofolk. Especially the accordion adds more dynamic and depth while preserving the distinctive :werra: sound.

    Invoked in midsummer 2012, OCCULTE is a new French musical and esoteric experience, conducted by HAL (aka DJ Alexida) & RH (aka Rose Hreidmarr), based on improvisation, automatic writing, deep atmospheres, and modified states of consciousness. OCCULTE is inspired by stars, moons, skies, and by what hides in the woods and megalopolises’ suburbs.

    And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

    Stupor Mentis ‎– Ad Extirpanda
    Label: Gradual Hate Records ‎– GH 136 CD, Twilight Records ‎– TW 1.155
    Format: CD, Album, Digipack 
    Country: Argentina
    Released: 10 May 2018
    Style: Neo-Classical, Neo-Romantic, Dark Ambient

    Stupor Mentis is a Dark-Ambient / Neo-classical duet formed in 2015. The general atmosphere of their music, foggy and oppressive sometimes turn into lyrical musing, escorting you to the edge of the “Stupor Mentis”.

    This latin term refers to this special mental “no-being” state characterised by a complete suspension of intelectual activities ; then, transported out of yourself                                                      

    “ Ad extirpanda” is the first real album of Stupor Mentis, following two dematerialised auto productions : “In memoriam” (2016) and “ Apostat” (2017).

    All the tracks from “Apostat” and some from “In memoriam” re-masterised, re-arranged with new versions.

    The vocals alternate between french, english, spanish and latin ; quoting poems of Charles Baudelaire, Emile Cioran and Rafael Alberti. The whole on atmospheric and symphonic instrumentation. 

    *Nicolas Lordi: All instruments,arrangements and composition

    *Audrey Bucci: Vocals and composition
