Each forthcoming album from the project will explore conceptions of Death within a particular civilization or religion. Evocative debut album “Xibalba“ - which focuses upon Mayan folklore – uses an interpretation of ideas from sacred text the Popol Vuh, not as a historical or ethnological lesson, but to vividly transport listeners into a tumultuous ancient world where Life & Death were perpetually intertwined. From an impeccable orchestral core swathed in folk instrumentation, the unmistakeable impassioned singing and entranced chanting of Lars Nedland (BORKNAGAR, SOLEFALD) soars skyward before cascading down into an arid undertow of textural Black Metal guitars performed by Vindsval (BLUT AUS NORD, FORHIST). A uniquely expressive soundworld forged from ancient culture, modern creativity and idiosyncratic songcraft – “Xibalba“ is an intricate, emotive musical journey free of fixed stylistic boundaries.
