hello swirl Whispered bedtime folk tales for spiders, with spirits upon thy shoulders and a voice of awe.

First I've heard of this folk style and feels at home here with beloved bards distinct as Ani D.

Wayward Souls production-wise, I had to adjust frequency to pull his voice out of some audio systems, but sounds good with headphones..

about

Splinterskin unveils his spell after years of solitude and hermetic isolation, in the form of a harsh, dark folk music. His tales are told using an old classical guitar accompanied by haunting vocals, violin, and soothing whispers cradled in the delicate atmospheres of autumn. A collection of tales blending life and death, entities and creatures, hidden wisdom, unknown places, pain and suffering, folklore, possession, insanity, nature and the dark world that surrounds. Yet there are no words to truly describe Splinterskin's message or music.

This is a beautiful ambient album, unsuspecting from the ominous song titles. Yet, Nordvargr successfully wraps tentacles around nerves through speakers when I thought it was safe, but the process of creation itself releases them. An expression of concerntration only possible from mounting chaos and terrifying anxiety. How strange panic and terror channels such finesse. hello swirl
