Background information about 'VIII: Selenotrope'
Botanist returns with their eighth full-length opus, "VIII: Selenotrope", and what a magnificent journey through botanical darkness this proves to be! This San Francisco collective continues to push the boundaries of what metal can become, weaving their signature dulcimer-driven soundscapes into something truly transcendent. The album's eight compositions flow like nocturnal blooms opening under moonlight, each track a carefully cultivated exploration of nature's most mysterious aspects.
From the haunting opener "Against the Selenic Light" to the epic 14-minute closer "The Flowering Dragon", Botanist crafts an atmosphere that's both meditative and utterly crushing. The interplay between hammered dulcimers and crushing percussion creates textures that feel organic yet otherworldly. Tracks like "Epidendrum Nocturnum" and "Angel's Trumpet" showcase the band's ability to balance delicate botanical imagery with the raw power of extreme metal, while the title track "Selenotrope" serves as a perfect encapsulation of their unique vision.
For fans of:
Agalloch, Alcest, Wolves in the Throne Room, Blut Aus Nord, Ulver
