Background information about 'Blades & Roses'
Two names, one vision, and a whole new label for it: Draugveil and Selvnatt join forces on "Blades & Roses", and what they drag out of the crypt is nothing short of a manifesto. Raw, atmospheric black metal in the cold, true spirit of the second wave gets married to ambient stretches of pure desolation, and somehow the whole thing feels like a single, breathing organism. Guitars cut like frostbitten steel, the atmosphere hangs heavy as fog over a battlefield, and just when you think you have the record figured out, it opens a door into mournful, wide-open quiet. This is fury and melancholy sharing the same trench.
What makes "Blades & Roses" such a thrilling listen is the tension it refuses to resolve. The duo call their creation Romantic Black Metal, and you can hear exactly what they mean: uncompromising, evil, utterly "true" sonics set against a gothic high-fantasy world of armored knights, roses and medieval tragedy. It is sorrowful grandeur, doomed romance and epic storytelling wrapped around riffs that never apologize for themselves. The gamble is huge, the payoff even bigger, because this record manages to be viciously authentic and unexpectedly beautiful at the same time, a sprawling concept work that treats black metal not as a museum piece but as a living, bleeding art form.
For fans of: Emperor, Satyricon, Dissection, Ulver, Sólstafir
