Norway's Eldamar, the solo project of Mathias Hemmingby (vocals, guitar, keyboard, programming), is set to release its new album, Astral Journeys Pt. I: Creation, on 6 September via Northern Silence Productions. The album marks a new chapter for Eldamar, shifting from themes inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien, Heathenism, Elven Magic, and Nature to more existential themes and nonphysical experiences. The goal of Eldamar's music has always been to evoke an emotional response from listeners, combining the auditory and visual to create a profound and immersive experience.
Astral Journeys Pt. I: Creation features a stunning cover painting by Polish surrealist Mariusz Lewandowski, setting the tone for the album's spiritual and otherworldly themes. The album consists of six tracks, blending atmospheric black metal with ambient elements to create a captivating soundscape that invites listeners on their spiritual journeys. The CD will be available in a regular Collector's Edition Digipak, limited to 999 copies, and a special Collector's Edition A5-digiCD, limited to 300 copies. The LP will come in a gatefold cover with several limited, coloured vinyl editions. Link
