KARG - Dornenvögel [RED/BLACK 2LP]

Solid white/black marbled vinyl, insert in padded inner sleeve and protection sleeve, 200 available More about 'Uumen' When four former members of the much-adored yet sadly disbanded Finnish metal act Ghost Brigade convened in Jyväskylä towards the end of 2020, their casual conversation quickly transformed into something extraordinary. Thus was born Ceresian Valot. With multiple songwriters and dual vocalists—both contributing lyrics in Finnish—the band's musical direction shifted naturally. Their debut album "Uumen" ("Depths") stands as a testament to this metamorphosis. The album traverses a dynamic and multidimensional landscape that melds alternative rock with the expansive realms of progressive and various metal genres. Rich with themes of insecurity, the lyrics navigate through shadows of melancholy, punctuated by glimmers of hope—a dim light at the tunnel's end. As a collective that includes graphic designers and engineers among its ranks, Ceresian Valot embodies a strong DIY ethos. Their journey with "Uumen" is an exciting blend of the familiar and unexpected: yielding to its unknown allure reveals an enchanting beauty.
