death bows his head and gently weeps..

by Sophia

supported by

Kaptain Carbon the emotion on this record is boiling to the point of melodrama. While the last sentence feels like it is a criticism, the protracted despair of oozing synth fits the Gothic atmosphere constructing a palace of melancholy and nights that never end. Most of Serpent Sword releases posses the same sort of vampiric DIY aesthetic and Sophia is no different with its weep for a 100 years approach to synth. Favorite track: the smell of rain in july.

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127

For such a prolific artist, the consistent quality of releases in Elminster’s catalog is truly impressive. Mountain Specter takes the listener on a pensive trek through fogbathed forests and misty crags. Soft dreamy pads and sparse plucked strings leave plenty of space for the mind to wander. mahrgdidj
