Au delà de la thématique des anciennes civilisation maya qui est très enrichissante et rare dans le black metal, l'atmosphère de cet album est à la fois absolument magnifique et brutale avec pleins d'instruments folkloriques. L'édition en vinyle est absolument magnifique, une très belle pièce dans ma collection ~ merci beaucoup pour ce joyau! ✨
Favorite track: The Place Of Fright.

Ritualistic black metal mixed with native South American wood and wind instruments; WARDUNA meets MAQUAHUITL (but the black metal aspect is often more ceremonial, epic, and measured, and less riffy and chaotic).

about
ERSHETU was formed in 2021 by conceptualist/lyricist Void and composer Sacr to create cinematic music which merges epic, obscure and atmospheric Metal with the poignant dramaticism of film scores. 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.

I've come across this band several times, sampled their work, but never found any moment that convinced me to buy. 'Tales Of The Old Dreamer' is the gem I've been looking for. The atmosphere from 5:07 onwards is otherworldly, a type of post-black metal with depth and atmosphere that could astonish even the most experienced listener. The cover artwork fits the darkened soundscapes explored here. I don't listen to the other tracks much, because I'm always drawn back to the old dreamer's tale.

Five years after The Dreaming I, this follow-up continues the terrifying and wondrous music of Naas Alcameth's nightmarish shadow realms, creating one of the most innovative and fascinating sounds in extreme metal. 'Ephialtes' is absolutely sensational, opening with incredible power, and building to one of the album's highlights starting at 1:31. 'Incubatio' is equally cataclysmic, with its dark ambient intro, followed by blistering blast beats, until the apocalyptic shriek at 2:51 — unreal!
