Finnish dungeon synth/ambient/black metal act Druadan Forest has announced that will release its fifth album, Dismal Spells From The Dragonrealm - Part 2, on the 23rd of February via Werewolf Records. Druadan Forest returns to a medieval age with Dismal Spells From the Dragonrealm - Part 2. As spelt out by its title, Dismal Spells From The Dragonrealm - Part 2 is a companion record to 2019's Dismal Spells From The Dragonrealm, arguably V-Khaoz's most massive work to date.
By now, Druadan Forest should require little introduction. From their demos in the late '90s to the fever of work from 2016 onward, this Finnish entity has created a vast and magickal world like no other. Naturally, it should come as no surprise given that main man V-Khaoz is an incredibly prolific veteran of the black metal underground for over 25 years now, and concurrently numbers the likes of Vargrav, Embryonic Slumber, and Grieve among his endeavors. With Druadan Forest, however, the emphasis has always been on the atmosphere and its transportive qualities. Whether the medium is ominous, titanic-gait black metal, cosmic ambient, pure dungeon synth, or some symbiosis of those, it matters not: the story - and the voyage - from this realm to another is paramount.
Almost deceptively soothing at times, the sometimes-sparse canvas of Part 2 nevertheless reveals shimmering expanses perhaps more on par with Portals than the first part of Dismal Spells From The Dragonrealm. But no matter where you meet Druadan Forest, the man remains a master of mood, and he again offers infinite landscapes on which to roam. Dismal Spells From The Dragonrealm - Part 2 is suitably completed by breathtakingly olde-world cover art courtesy of Misa Horkio. Link
