pinkytheent Wow, a hidden gem! Midnartiis not only expertly weaves metal and folk elements, but the folk elements themselves are flavorful and varied, from feeling English to Middle Eastern/central Asian. The melodies are rich and sparkling, the electric and acoustic elements dance in a natural and breathing fashion (rather than being ham-handedly alternated), and the mood draws you into the mossy sepulcher. Well done, hope to hear more from Midnartiis! Favorite track: A Fading Sepulchral Vestige.

Alice M. Artisanal-sounding atmo bm. Kinda reminds me of Wędrujący Wiatr (I’m biased by the recent release though), but maybe with more agressive vocals and a stronger focus on guitarwork.

Wheels of Mercury Best accidental click ever on this site. I do not know why everyone's sleeping on this album; it's really well done! Favorite track: Sinew of Sol.

Sinew of Sol 10:28
To go where no grass may grow On the peak where serpents blood was spilled The place which the sun's rays cannot beam And roots sleep dreamlessly beneath A realm of decay wrought of life The sinew of Sol awaits the knife To ascend the valley by golden bough A lone limb reaching to the depth extends As tooth and claw sharpen in strength And verdant growth follows long slumber A realm of life wrought from loss The sinew of Sol found in moss A realm of dream wrought in turmoil The sinew of Sol rising from the soil A memory embedded in the flesh of mind Cernunnos beckons from behind his flame The gathering ghosts of this night rejoice In the fauna of opportunity imbibed

A fading sepulchral vestige Once thought indelible wears away Withered by time in lament and remorse A ruined beacon on a lost horizon Entropy now encircles the wanderer Whipped by icy winds of decay The pool of souls opens up And a thousand hands ensnare From forgotten alcoves and crevices Embossed with eternal dust and ash Beckoning cries call out To join in rank and file Corrupting life and light Organic composition atrophies He clutches the remnants in vain As his essence returns to aether Now part of the webbed All Self dissolves, nothing remains...

Blade imbued with will sent into the flame To rest and gather of its warmth The knowledge of pain then sears flesh Sinking yet seeking Rising and retreating A serpent thought dead and maimed For consoling those bitten Holds burden and woe in itself In calm and peaceful water Under a waning reflection of the moon A yearning which bears discomfort Yet a sought after sorrow In the center of the hewn passage Solace glimmers from loss The flame of hearth has stopped Silenced as if with split tongue And the baying of the world grows louder Coiled in sacred earth to heal

This hardened heart which may not repent Whose tethers are strung and bound The welkin mourns its wilted grey weep The fruits of lunacy laid out to keep Bid to do what thou wilt On earthly plane, void of empyreal By the grace of tree of Hecat And sapphire flame of Pluto I flew with demonspeed And rode on devil's wings To storms on distant shores And villages of yesteryear Through mountains white And forests deep Through dens of lechery And troughs endless To be discarded Among the obscure A world of hollow gazes In needs unmet And unknown This spiritually vacuous void We inhabit in enslavement Can be shed at a cost If taking the Faustian Path Hark! The choice is made By writ of eternal order Your blood-sealed covenant Will not be undone

Physical CD's available through Naturmacht Productions January 21st, 2022:

Pro CDr in high quality 6-Panel DigiPak with glossy varnish, first press 100 copies

Sinew of Sol is the conclusion of a journey through the dark, and a culmination of the more traditional black metal style with the plaintive folk music found on previous releases, brought to prime form. The sound of regeneration and strength following decay and loss, and the phoenix rising from the ashes of past selves.
