Belarusian symphonic/gothic metal act Belle Morte has released another single and video, "Exorcism", which continues its international collaborative series and takes listeners on a journey far East to the grassy steppe of Mongolia. This single features a traditional Mongolian bowed stringed instrument called mornin khuur and khuumei (throat singing), both performed by Ulziisaikhan Khoroldamba.
Belle Morte is a musical project from Minsk, Belarus, playing dark symphonic metal with a gothic/progressive flavour and melancholic vibe. The band's debut EP, Game On, was released in 2018. In 2021 the band signed a deal with Italian label Wormholedeath to release its full-length conceptual album Crime Of Passion, inspired by John Fowles's "The Collector". Album tells a coherent story that started as an unhealthy obsession and stalking and resulted in murder, both from the side of the murderer and his victim.
Currently, the band is working on a series of songs in collaboration with musicians from different parts of the world. The first single from the series is "Fallen Idol", featuring Finnish tagelharpa parts by Tero Kalliomäki, the second one, "Krew", features Ukrainian bandura by Yaroslav Dzhus, and the third one features Mongolian morin khuur and throat singing performed by Ulziisaikhan Khoroldamba.
The idea behind Belle Morte is playing on contrasts - in music, lyrics, and visual imagery. It's about seeing beauty in disturbing things, ugly things, and, vice versa, seeing the bad side in nice things which might not be that obvious at the first sight.
