    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.

    Las pistas ofrecen una sofisticada mezcla de ambient/ritual; percusiones marciales (tomadas en vivo de los tradicionales tamborileros de Huesca; la ciudad alguna vez llamada Bolskan…) y un fuerte enfoque neofolk debido a las guitarras y voz de Aphlar. Estos elementos crean una atmósfera evocadora, que trata de los tiempos pre-cristianos y medievales.

    Para aquellos que están familiarizados con los estilos y bandas como Of The Wand and The Moon, Nebelung, Falkenstein, Raison D’être, Apoptose o Ain Soph, encontrarán en “In Bolskan” un álbum conceptual muy interesante.

    The Austrian group Allerseelen have been active and innovative in the industrial and apocalyptic folk genre for many years. Their CDs and 7″ editions have been issued on Aorta and :retortae: and their double-LP editions on Ahnstern. Allerseelen is a unique combination of industrial, folklore and rock elements, and «Industrial Folklore» might be an appropriate expression to embrace these seemingly contradictory qualities. The dynamic stage presence of drummer Christien H, bass player Marcel P., and the two vocalists AimA and Gerhard Hallstatt all contribute toward a unique mood of «Apocalyptic Krautfolk» for these live performances.
