French black metal band Aldaaron has announced the release of its fourth album, Majestic Heights, Melancholic Depths. The album will get out on 20 October through Paragon Records.
In this mountainous universe, a glacial cold reigns, preserving the purity of the landscape: desolate and majestic. The nature here is wild and untamed, governed by its laws, while the snow-capped peaks stand proudly, bearing witness to the passage of ages.
The vast majority of humanity has vanished, leaving room for a handful of rare individuals leading a hermitic existence. Solitude is the sovereign of these remote lands, but for those living here, it is by no means a burden. These individuals have chosen to withdraw from the hustle of the modern world, leaving behind material constraints and superficial aspects of society to embrace life in harmony with nature and its mysteries, dedicating themselves to contemplation and spirituality.
It is a world where time seems to slow down, nature reigns as an absolute sovereign, and life is guided by the rhythms of seasons and elements. A world offering a retreat to those who seek the true meaning of existence and communion with nature in its purest form. This universe, from the imagination of Ioldar, is the one that gives birth to the music of Aldaaron.
Aldaaron was founded in 2004 by Ioldar amidst the remote forests of the French Alps. Aldaaron's music is a tribute to the spirit of the age-old fir forests and the eternally snow-covered summits.
In 2023, Aldaaron returns with its new album, Majestic Heights, Melancholic Depths - drawing inspiration from the narratives of Steven Erikson's Malazan Book Of The Fallen, the album showcases musicians' growth and evolution while retaining the heroic, melancholic, and furious compositions that define their sound.
Through Majestic Heights, Melancholic Depths, Aldaaron invites listeners on an immersive odyssey, where each track unfurls like a vivid chapter in an epic saga, beckoning them to traverse a landscape of intricate melodies, poignant emotions, and unwavering intensity.
