«United Yet Divided» is the 6th album of DER BLAUE REITER, a Catalan music project that was founded in January 2005. DER BLAUE REITER is Sathorys Elenorth & Cecilia Bjärgö (Arcana / Sophia) , a project which explores the deepest corners and ruins of human existence, where the martial sounds are mixed with orchestrations and classical interludes and devastating environments filled with emotion and sadness.

Between 1945 and 1990, Europe and the rest of the world lived in a cold war. These times were hard for many, easier for others, but it was a time of people becoming divided. For this album, DER BLAUE REITER will move through the world during these years. In reminiscence of the split of Berlin, the air bridge that saved people from starving, of the Budapest revolution, the story of the Berlin wall, the spring in Prague, the crises in Cuba, the dictators of Romania and Spain. Once Europe were split, then they became united….but still more divided than ever.

With the release of „United Yet Divided», you will follow the journey of Sathory Elenorth’s magical music and Cecilia Bjärgö’s lyrics , which will lead you into the history, distant but not forgotten. With the support of Maria Montes and Lady Nott (Narsilion / Ordo Funebris), the music elevates into what DER BLAUE REITER is most known for: the music of neoclassical martial Darkfolk. So let us be United, united in the music and in the world we share!

Furvus ‎– Aes Grave

Style: Neo-Classical, Medieval, Soundtrack, Opera, Military

(After 18 years) Furvus returns with an new majestic album full of sonorous shades, orchestral / choral arrangements and an epic vein worthy of a soundtrack. Highly recommended for all fans of orchestral and epic Neoclassic in the vein of bands like Elend, Death in June, Rosa Crux….

“Aes Grave” is the follow-up to the majestic “Deflorescens Iam Robur” album by FURVUS from 1999 (which still is considered by critics and listeners as one of the cornerstones of the Neo-Classical music).

What the time doesn’t erase, is strengthened in the memory: the memory of loved ones, of lost faith and the blood shed
which is now outlined through this journey inside the music and moral heritage of the past, going beyond the Pillars of Hercules of any religious or political belief.
From theophany to solipsism, the wayfarer’s catharsis takes shape across the project’s sound textures, epic and introspective as yesterday,but today also tinged with shades ranging from conviviality to more majestic chorality.
All made with a balanced use of computer (each vocal part and acoustic instrument is sung / played by the musician) on a substrate of Concrete processing. A sound katabasis down to the hell of one’s emotional intelligence with an obol perhaps too expensive to be paid …
