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.

Barbarossa Umtrunk – Septimia Bathzabbai Zénobie Music, Composition and Vocals by Baron Von.S. Released at Bunker Alamut, Summer 2022. Lyrics by Hejer «Agar» K. (taken from his poem «Zénobie»). De son vrai nom araméen, Bathzabbai, reine Arabe à Palmyre, l’épouse d’Odenat S’autoproclame impératrice, elle, qui, sans peine, Nomme empereur de Rome son fils Wahballat. Cléopâtre du Levant, son pouvoir s’étend De l’Égypte à l’Anatolie, ébranlant Rome. Régente à l’Est, dotée de la beauté d’Orient, Elle est l’amazone dirigeant une armée d’hommes. Certes, Augusta érige en cité florissante L’oasis palmyrène, qui se voit saccagée Par l’empereur Aurélien. Captive, Septimia Connaît une fin obscure et controversée. Depuis des lustres, sa virilité virginale En fait des patriotes syriens l’égérie. Al Zabba subjugue par son aura martiale Et sa chasteté, inspirant de grands génies. Hejer K.

Barbarossa Umtrunk – L’Aigle Sacré du Caucase Music, Samples, Composition & Vocals : Baron Von S. Released at Bunker Alamut, Summer 2022. Lyrics : Hejer «K» Agar ( taken from his Poem «Aigle Sacré de la Oumma») Aigle du Caucase, Shamil El Daghestani, Le sheikh Naqshbandi, fut un héros et un ascète Soufi. Il représente la chevalerie Initiatique, dans sa plus grande pureté. Des savants le surnomment «sixième calife» Tant il porta au pinacle la sainteté Et l’héroïsme islamique, lui, leader rétif À toute mollesse et mujahid sanctifié. Dès sa tendre enfance, pétri de science et de foi, Il garda les troupeaux de moutons familiaux, En son village. Garçon chétif, il fut la proie De jaloux, le battant et blessant au couteau. Dès lors, il se métamorphosa en guerrier Montagnard incomparable. Promu grand savant Et guide soufi, il rejoint la lutte armée, Après son haj, élu suprême combattant. Là où Napoléon, face aux Russes, échoua, Il devint leur plus redoutable résistant, Fédérant les clans caucasiens, par la Sharia. Cette guerre des mourids dura vingt-cinq ans. Shamil Effendi et ses vaillants kshatrias, Si érudits et spirituels, fondèrent Leur théocratie. Versés dans la guérilla, Ils humilièrent la Russie tsariste, si fière. Chef d’État révolutionnaire, il gouverna Son gazanat avec sagesse et charité. Mécène des sages, il créa des madrassas. Charmés, moult chrétiens rejoignirent son armée. Féru de l’amour conjugal le plus sacré, Il irradie le modèle muhammadien. Trahi par ses proches, astreint au traité de paix, Le tsar l’assigne à résidence, avec les siens. Ami de l’Emir Abdel Kader, on l’accueille En grande pompe, où qu’il aille. Faiseur de prodiges, Il est encensé par les Ottomans. Au seuil De Médine, on l’inhume à Baqi, saint cénacle. Hejer K.

Chère Daria, que la terre te soit légère. Rose blanche, tu incarnais l’âme de la Grande Russie, lys pur ensanglanté par une bande De malfrats, t’ayant diffamée, avec ton père.
Pétrie des beaux préceptes de ton géniteur, Éclairée par la Tradition, tu appliquais Ses enseignements. C’est, à présent, sous le dais Du Ciel que tu reposes, avant l’ultime Heure.
Telle Hypatie, ton égérie spirituelle, Tu fus nimbée du noble ésotérisme antique, Versée dans le néo-platonisme : de Jamblique À Plotin, toi qui fus docte, noble autant que belle.
Spécialiste en relations internationales, Journaliste hors-pair, politologue, militante Eurasiste et philosophe, tu prônais l’entente Sacrée des fidèles contre l’axe du mal.
Mélomane et dotée de sensibilité Artistique, ayant baigné dans le mysticisme Orthodoxe, tu fus le pont entre Christianisme Et Islam, face au libéralisme enragé.
La douleur et la force de ton valeureux Alexandre nous a bouleversés. N’aie crainte : Ton martyr pour le vrai et le bien sera l’enceinte Qui verra vaincre tous les chevaliers de Dieu.

First Version was part of Barbarossa Umtrunk «Regnum Sanctum» (SkullLine, 2008) Italian Voice, Rhythmics, Synth-Guitars and Mix by Sol. M. (T.S.I.D.M.Z.) Lyrics freely adapted from Linga-purana. Verso la fine dell’Età oscura i ladri deruberanno i ladri. Gli uomini perbene si ritireranno dalla politica. Nessuno vivrà la durata normale della vita. I riti decadranno nelle mani di uomini senza virtù. Gli uomini si uccideranno l’un l’altro e uccideranno i bambini e le donne. Solo i beni conferiranno il rango. Solo movente della devozione sarà la salute fisica. Solo legame tra i sessi sarà il piacere. Sola via di successo la falsità. I meriti ottenuti in un anno nel Treta yuga potranno essere ottenuti in un mese nel Dvapara, in un giorno nel Kali yuga.
