The USA-based ethereal blackened funeral doom/neofolk ensemble Isenordal releases new dark and heavy single, "Saturnine Apotheosis", taken from the forthcoming new album Requiem For Eirênê, which will be released on the 8th of March via Prophecy Productions.
"From the human perspective this world is worse than unfeeling", guitarist Gordon Greenwood states on behalf of the band. "Revolt or recoil; in the end all that we know and care about will be dashed against the rocks. 'Saturnine Apotheosis' closes the record – and this excerpt is the last breath."
Isenordal are different. Not fitting easily into the given stylistic drawers can often turn out to be both a blessing and a curse for a metal band. The six-piece from Seattle, WA in the United States is particularly hard to pin down. If push comes to shove, they could be described as a funeral doom act. This hardly does their musical range justice. There are also notable influences of black metal, especially the harsh vocals but also the occasional vicious outbreaks of blizzard-riffs. Then again, the metal elements are diligently balanced by beautiful acoustic passages of American neo-folk.
With Requiem For Eirênê, Isenordal dares to face the curse that creating different and unique music can bring, and it conjures the blessing that an excitingly new and skilfully achieved magical sound may award. May the American funeral doom innovators reap the fruits of what they have so bravely sown!
