Blut, Milch und Thränen

by KVELGEYST

supported by

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan) À la question : "est-ce que suivre les enseignements de l'ancienne académie, c'est s'enfermer dans une cage mentale ?", KVELGEYST répond avec panache. Blut, Milch und Thränen, son album sophomore, pousse le vice encore plus loin : il garde son black metal ravageur mais se réclame du jazz, de la musique classique, martèle notre crâne comme l'artisan forgeron, fait chanter les gnomes. Primitif, animal, il libère !
Aussi rentre-dedans qu'alambiqué, aussi brillant qu'ampoulé : un coup de génie ! Favorite track: Stufe II: In der Galgenvögel Gossen.

Lord Okrakon Wonderfully NOT straight-forward. Crooked and ensnaring organic black metal for forest punks. Love the production. Everything hits just right: feral vocals, GREAT drum production, and lots of sorcery. Yee-haw. Favorite track: Stufe II: In der Galgenvögel Gossen.

pholcusphalangoides The H.U.C. does it again! Mystic, furious and utterly creative. I bow to you all! What you create is something beyond material goods, it is timeless.

Sælzer Bub Straightforward Black Metal. Melodic and poetic. Epic saxophone and piano parts and some passages are presented in spoken words. Definitely a unique piece of art.

Paintingmantis Fabulous release!! Love it!! 🔥🔥🔥

about

"Blut, Milch und Thränen" was recorded somewhat unconventionally as two separate tracks, which were subdivided into several movements to correspond with the album's gripping narrative. With regard to this narrative, Kvelgeyst recounts the tale of an alchemist, beset by visions that leads him to search for an adept who in turn shall serve as the victim in a sinister ritual, hoping to achieve unio mystica. Initially, he is pleased, as he discovers an adept soon enough in the gutters. Regrettably for him, however, he is finally confronted with the realization that he has fatally misinterpreted his visions, and it is not he who sacrifices the adept in his pursuit of revelation, but rather he must serve as the sacrificial lamb in ritual slaughter, thus enabling the adept to achieve unio mystica. This, in turn, drives the adept into utter madness, rendering him free of all his senses and forcing him to the gutters from whence he emerged.

about

KVELGEYST Zürich, Switzerland

KVLGST was spawned in 2015 by Urgeist, V. Knüppelknecht and Meister T. in an inebriated state, when their souls where closest to Anima Mundi. Inspired by the ecstasy of the otherworld they proceeded to pursue alchemistic rituals manifested in riffs of chaos and gold. I-S-U-R-Z ... more

Ateiggär is probably the most traditional of the Jünger Tumilon circle, but don't let it fool you as I had - this isn't merely a simplistic, 2nd wave imitation unit. The charisma common to all their fellows remains, as does the excellent musicianship and refusal of laziness. The Kvist comparison by Ippocalyptica is apt, which is the highest praise imaginable given their pedigree and uniqueness. Nuclear Girl
