GALVORNHATHOL - Releases Sophomore Album

German atmospheric black/ambient metal project Galvornhathol released the new full-length II on 21 January. Galvornhathol is a melodic metal project, combining elements of shoegaze, ambient, and slight musical hints of melodic death and black metal. While musically and lyrically lay on the simple side, the songs are based on poems and aphorisms about the intertwining connections of spiritualism (without religious interpretations) and nature. The name is derived from Tolkien's Sindarin script and probably means "dark/black metal axe". A contrast between the man-made world (axe, iron) and the nature and spiritualism-focused lyrics.

More focused on personal growth than its mainly nature-focused predecessor I (2020), II is a rather rough but optimistic ode to life and your inherent potential to (co-)exist with the everlasting source. Gaia, gods..., whatever one may call it. II is the continuation of a three-part journey from below the earth to anything above the Exosphere and will, hopefully, inspire the listeners' way across the universe. The recently unveiled "Eudaimonia" video is available right below. Link
