German neofolk/black metal duo Barditus will release its debut mini-album entitled Dein Schwert on the 22nd of April via Purity Through Fire. Barditus is a studio and live project of Uwe Nolte, from the cult Orplid, together with Christian S. from Stern des Bundes. While Orplid's sound is somewhere between neofolk and neoclassical, with themes ranging from Germanic paganism and Greek mythology to the Christian symbolism of the early Middle Ages and natural romanticism, here with Barditus the duo explore a sound somewhere between paradigmatic neofolk and black metal - or even "acoustic black metal", if you will. And while in Orplid the occidental bastion was defended with the quill, Barditus take up the sword and unconditionally profess heroism and love.
The passion and power of Barditus here will be readily recognizable to fans of Orplid, with the pastoral-on-the-surface acoustics joined in their soon-to-be-bubbling-over frenzy by sharp shards of dungeonic black metal. Dein Schwert is a good foretaste of the upcoming album Nibelungentreue, which will cast a spell on admirers of black metal and neofolk alike - because it is Barditus' goal to slay the sword of black metal in the fire-reforging neofolk!
