The Felled's debut album The Intimate Earth was released on 2 July through Transcending Obscurity Records and has already astonished many with its emotional depth and maturity. The rave reviews from all over are a testament to that. It showcases rare sincerity and warmth, which is rare nowadays in an increasingly sterile environment.
The US folk/black metal band Felled, composited of Isamu Sato (bass), Brighid Wagner (violin, viola, backing vocals), Jenn Grunigen (drums, vocals) and Cavan Wagner (vocals, guitars), has created breathtaking music melding black metal with folk elements and lending to it rare depth and warmth. The inclusion of instruments such as violin and viola is masterfully done and is used almost as the main instrument here. The soulful music emanating from them is truly heart-rending and enhances the expression of this kind of black metal without diminishing the intensity. There's not a dull moment on this 40-min record, with there being the brilliant interplay between the guitar and the violin and viola, the arrangements being taut and with no section overstaying its welcome. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to call this record a near-perfect one in the subgenre, and one that stays with you long after it's over, its lingering tunes beckoning you to give yet another spin. There's unparalleled elegance, remarkable dynamism and above all, the genuine quality of a band that's creating music from the heart without any affectation. Asure yourselves by listening to the entire album The Intimate Earth available below. Link
