NEGURÃ BUNGET - Reveals Details About The New Album, Announces European Tour

Romanian ambient/black/folk metal masters Negură Bunget will release their new album entitled ZI on 30th September. ZI is the second part of the group's ambitious "Transilvanian Trilogy", released on the heels of 2015's celebrated album, TAU, a record accurately hailed as "earthshaking" as it focused on unique native, natural landscapes and the mystique, legends, lore and meanings behind them.
In creating its most luminescent recording to date, Negură Bunget has further immersed itself in the traditions and practices of local Transilvanian inhabitants, exploring their connection with nature, and the way this relationship has shaped spiritual horizons. Within this framework, ZI closely examines the core of the most important traditions and rituals connected with the well-being of this community. Life events such as funeral ceremonies, soil tillage, and human growth and evolution (i.e. youth to teen to man to warrior, through to outcast) are spotlighted, in what is undoubtedly some of the most heady, thinking-man's metal produced in recent memory.
Musically, ZI builds upon the hallmarks of Negură Bunget's impressive catalog; the juxtaposition and interweaving of grim black metal elements, ambient soundscapes and acoustic counterparts based on native Romanian folk music, giving life to panoramic atmospheres, intensity and power unequaled in the band's rich discography.
An impressive musical statement and crucial bridge between root-bearing beginning and impending finale of the trilogy (scheduled to be released in early 2018), ZI is a mystical, tension-building recording that mirrors the size and scope of the deep forest fog for which the band is named.
The album was recorded at Negura Music studio between January-June 2016. It was produced and mixed by Negură Bunget and Mihai 'Mtz' Neagoe. Mastering by Alin Luculescu. Cover design was created by Daniel DorobanTu. Outfit design is by Anita Ramona. Tracklist and cover artwork are below.
In other news, Negură Bunget will present live the new album, along with a special anniversary set in a complex tour plan that will spread over the second part of 2016 and all over 2017, with some support for the crowdfungind campaing they have set-up in oder to help them acomplish their goals.
