    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.

Durante un reciente viaje a esa región, Kazeria concibió el disco para expresar sus impresiones sobre las tradiciones arcaicas y la gran herencia simbólica encontradas allí.

    El álbum fue compuesto por la fructífera colaboración entre Kazeria y Aphlar, un rústico y enérgico proyecto neofolk de Buenos Aires.
    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.

    Dernière Volonté ‎– Commémoration (CD Version)


    Dernière Volonté – Commémoration
    Label: Hau Ruck! – HR!67
    Format: 2 × CD, Compilation, Reissue, Remastered, Digifile
    Country: Austria
    Released: 2018
    Style: Modern Classical, Industrial, Neofolk

    Commemoration brings together my work from 1998 to 2003, 5 years when, as you will see, I recorded a lot. Minimalist, factual, often dark and very pessimistic, that’s how I conceived Derniere Volonteat that moment. My equipment was very rudimentary, my texts quickly written on crumpled books, all recorded often in one or two days. It was perhaps the moment, that I was the most productive and also, by anger, the most inventive. A few years ago I started to think of a new edition of Commemoration, a review of those years of ‘iron and lead’, the testament of my ‘anti light’. This is Commemoration in its new edition. Good listening. Geoffroy Delacroix October 2018

    Der Blutharsch / Taciturne – The Moment Of Truth / Der Brotkasten


    Der Blutharsch / Taciturne – The Moment Of Truth / Der Brotkasten
    Label: WKN ‎– WKN 22
    Format: CD, Compilation, Remastered + CD, Mini, Reissue
    Country: Austria
    Released: Oct 2004
    Style: Industrial, Experimental, Chiptune

    Der Blutharsch was the main project of Austrian musician Albin Julius (1967-2022). Following in the footsteps of Autopsia and Laibach, Julius created marching music of bombastic rhythms and folkish melodies, often infused with historical military speeches and orchestral samples. The earlier works tended towards a minimalistic sample-based instrumental style in an industrial/ambient vein, while more recent material has headed into a folk/acoustic sound, often accompanied with live vocals and instruments.
