Digipak CD. More about 'Zeitlang' "Zeitlang" is the harsh debut full-length of Bavarian black metal act GRÀB featuring founding vocalist Grant. The former DARK FORTRESS frontman has written the entire concept album in a local dialect of Germany's southernmost Alpine state. GRÀB, which means “old and grey”, are lyrically telling the story of an old man, who has chosen to withdraw from society into an isolated cottage deep in the mountains, where he reflects on his life while his death edges ever closer. The story on "Zeitlang" ("Yearning") begins in his early childhood with the song 'Nachtkrapp' ("Night Raven") and continues all the way to his end, which is illuminated by the track 'A Gråbliacht' ("A Grave Lantern"). Musically, GRÀB are picking up the Norwegian strands of early GEHENNA, ULVER, and DARKTHRONE as well as being inspired by German NAGELFAR and LUNAR AURORA. Yet true to their topic, the Bavarians include traditional local elements, which is instrumentally expressed by the use of hammered dulcimer, zither and alphorn. Vocalist and Bavarian poet Grant views "Zeitlang" as his personal musical legacy. Join the singer and GRÀB on their equally intimate and forceful quest into the dark and stark places of the human mind and Alpine nature where there are no safe spaces.

Red double vinyl in gatefold sleeve with thick printed inner sleeves, limited to 550 copies. About the album 'Likferd,' the fourth and final full-length album by Windir, embodies a profound shift in the band's musical journey. Released in 2003, it sees the band pushing their defining folk elements to the background, allowing a more dominant black metal influence to take the forefront. The album is a dark and brooding masterpiece that exudes an ominous atmosphere—one that eerily foreshadows its title, translating to 'funeral.' This project was Valfar's last creation before his untimely passing, adding an extra layer of poignancy to its narrative. While 'Likferd' may have lived in the shadows of its predecessors 'Arntor' and '1184,' it reveals a matured sound that signifies an important chapter in Windir's legacy. The album draws listeners into a somber world where complex melodies intertwine with intense black metal riffs, creating an immersive auditory experience. Tracks like "Resurrection Of The Wild" and "Martyrium" stand out for their intricate guitar work and atmospheric depth. With each song, Windir crafts a narrative steeped in Norse mythology and personal introspection. For fans of Vreid, Mistur, Falkenbach, and Cor Scorpii, 'Likferd' serves as both a tribute to Valfar's visionary artistry and a crucial piece of the rich tapestry that is Windir's musical history.
