NSP 067 :
Brocken Moon - Das Märchen vom Schnee CD/LP
Release date CD: May 2nd, 2008
Release date LP:
January 2009
After 5 demos, three of
them included on their
debut album "Mondfinsternis" in 2005,
Brocken Moon return with a fantastic album
that
combines cold, atmospheric Black Metal and acoustic parts
with a concept story which had best be described as
self-written
folk tale and a brilliant artwork that is on the one hand dark
and pure underground like the music but on the other
hand a
hauntingly beautiful expression of the whole lyrical concept.
It happens not often that the music, lyrics and
artwork of an album
appear in such perfect unity. "Das Märchen vom
Schnee" is a release that is highly recommended
for fans of old Ulver and
In The Woods but also Lunar Aurora or Paysage d'Hiver, one
and all bands who not just put effort into their
music but make
sure all aspects of a release complement each other and
together form an album that is not mere music but a
real work of art.
The LP comes in white vinyl, limited to 250 copies,
and has a special 4-panel panorama cover.
Tracklist:
1. I
