Turnavel – Unbewusste Label: Gradual Hate Records – GH 118 CD Format: CD Country: Spain Released: Mar 2013 Style: Neo-Classical, Dark Ambient
Maurice Maeterlinck compared the unconscious to an unfathomable ocean scarcely illuminated by a dim phosphorescence. Unbewusste is a kind of promenade through it, along a series of diverse soundscapes that could serve as scenery for an ecstatic duel between the Muse and the inexorable scythe of Saturn. Turnavel is a project born in 2003, after its existence in some latent mental form while his founder played in bands with different styles during the previous years. It develops a wide range of mainly neoclassical soundscapes which sometimes draw inspiration from other media, such as films, painting or literature, usually related to oneiric or symbolic subjects and addressed to the imagination of the listener. CD cover design of Max Hierro.

THE GRAAL – A tribute to the Holy Grails Label: GH Records GH 126 CD Format: CD, Compilation Country: Spain Released: 2015 Style: Dark Ambient, Industrial, Neoclassic, Neo Folk, Dark Wave
THE GRAAL – A tribute to the Holy Grails – ahonda en los mitos alrededor del Cáliz Sagrado: desde su creación a partir de una gema esmeralda desprendida de Lucifer, hasta la extravagante Corte del Rey Arturo, pasando por la enigmática Patagonia Argentina, donde se hallaría enterrado junto al cuerpo del Caballero Parsifal. Enigmas antiguos. Enigmas contemporáneos. Todos buscan y desean el Santo Grial, objeto que permite la inmortalidad del cuerpo y la salvación del alma.
Un cáliz. Mil rostros. Mil aventuras. Mil perdiciones.
Los textos sagrados indican que, a partir de la crucifixión de Jesús, su sangre fue recogida en una copa por José de Arimatea, su primer protector. Este, después de ser apresado, llevó el cáliz hacia un sitio misterioso, una isla mítica donde se irguió el primer castillo y se instauró la orden de Protectores del Santo Cáliz. ¿Leyenda ó realidad metafísica? La búsqueda del Graal existió y existe en la actualidad; desde Asia hasta América, y son muchos los que atestiguan poseerlo en iglesias o museos. Un grial, mil griales.
Que es el Grial si no un Mito. Los mitos forman parte del sistema de creencias de una cultura o de una comunidad, la cual los considera historias verdaderas. Al conjunto de los mitos de una cultura se le denomina mitología. Cuanto mayor número de mitos y mayor complejidad tiene una mitología, mayor es el desarrollo de las creencias de una comunidad. La mitología sustenta la cosmovisión de un pueblo…
