The Hungarian atmospheric black metal duo WitcheR has released its third album, Lélekharang, in CD and cassette format via Filosofem Records; on 15 October, the album's vinyl version will see the light of day via Beverina Productions.
Lélekharang - meaning "soul bell" - is the third album from Hungarian duo WitcheR and is steeped in folklore and ancient beliefs of their homeland. The spirit of this album lies in the natural landscape, a past untainted by destructive greed and blind pursuit of power and wealth. In Hungarian tradition, the soul bell tolls once on a person's passing and again at their burial and with Lélekharang WitcheR cry out against the passing of the old ways of life, smothered and consumed by the domineering force of Christianity. Each song is swathed in an atmosphere of autumnal twilight and transports the listener back through the ages. The simple, haunting introductory melody leads you into the soft textures of "Hamvak" and the rich, reflective melancholy envelops you like a dream. Only when the final notes of WitcheR's inspired interpretation of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" fade to silence, does the harsh reality of the modern world return. Lélekharang is atmospheric black metal in its most magical form, entrancing the senses with its yearning for things lost to the relentless march of progress. Synths and guitars entwine in a rare and perfect harmony painting sepia-tinted visions that can never be forgotten.
Enjoy listening to Lélekharang... Link
