Today German dark, primitive metal trio, Valborg, who feature within their eccentric ranks current and former members of Owl, Klabautamann, Woburn House, Gruenewald and more, release their fifth full-length via Temple Of Torturous. Titled Romantik, the follow-up to 2012's critically-lauded Nekrodepression offering, thrusts forth six confounding tracks of morose, avant, blackened ambiance. A cerebral sound exhibition into dark and light, atmospheric synthesizers twine around wistful guitars, slowly and deliberately hovering above a foundation of palpitating rhythms, the band's harsh, German vocal inflections adding further trepidation to their profoundly bleak brand of funeral power doom. In observance of its release a visual accompaniment to fourth movement, "Sulphur Vitriol Angel". The disquieting clip was created by German artist Soheyl Nassary who chose the song and shaped the concept. Soheyl commented: "My work is based mostly on a visual idea, which tells a story and creates a mood by default through targeted production. The floral theme is a game with Romantik stereotypes and thus to contextualize the Valborg song/music theme." Watch the video below. Link
