Digpak CD with 8 page booklet.

Background information about ''

Man, this is absolutely crushing!Cromlech was already launched by the band's sole member Impurus in 1994. Much of what would become the first album was written back then under the title Cold and Stiff, originally meant as a demo. But for various reasons, it wasn't properly recorded and released until 2023 – nearly 30 years later.During the timespan when CROMLECH lay dormant, Impurus wasn`t inactive at all, though, but made a name for himself being the drummer of and as such recording numerous albums with DIES ATER, CRYOGENIC and ALBEZ DUZ."Of Owls And Eels" showcases what happens when decades of experience meet pure artistic vision - it's absolutely mindblowing!We are presented with a diverse and highly enjoyable album, where cold black metal riffs and high-level drumming merge seamlessly with eerie keyboards and surreal, almost hallucinatory soundscapes: a journey through shadow, memory and dream. Of Owls And Eels is dynamic, unpredictable, and unmistakably quirky - brutal in places but also melancholic and touched by a sense of quiet reverie.The result is an album of intense atmospheric weight – seven songs that completely transcend the limitations often associated with solo Black Metal projects. It's almost unfathomable that such depth and scope could emerge from the vision and hands of just one man.This is seriously next-level stuff that proves German black metal is still absolutely vital!

For fans of:
Nagelfar, Lunar Aurora, Dies Ater, The Ruins Of Beverast and Albez Duz
