Background information about 'Paleobotany'
Prepare yourself for something truly extraordinary – Botanist have crafted their most accessible yet mind-bending opus with "Paleobotany". This is their twelfth full-length journey into botanical metal brilliance, and what a trip it is! The San Francisco visionaries transport us 70 million years back when colossal dinosaurs roamed and ancient forests slowly transformed into coal deposits. But here's the kicker – instead of the usual metal clichés about Satan and dragons, these sonic botanists weave tales around plant species with the passion of true nature devotees.
What makes Botanist absolutely mesmerizing is their revolutionary approach to heavy music. Forget everything you know about traditional metal instrumentation – these pioneers wield 110-string hammered dulcimers fitted with magnetic pickups, creating a sound that's both brutally heavy and hauntingly beautiful. Producer Fredrik Nordström (who's worked magic with Dimmu Borgir, Opeth, and At The Gates) has mixed this album to perfection at Studio Fredman, bringing out every nuance of their unique sonic palette. The result is their most song-oriented work yet, shedding some progressive complexity for arrangements that hit harder while maintaining their trademark intricacy.

Agalloch, Blut Aus Nord, Ulver, Emperor, Alcest, Deathspell Omega
