El Sendero Oscuro

Una nueva muestra de fusión entre el marcial, el industrial orquestal, el Neofolk, el Militarismo y las composicoines apocalípticas. Música intensa, dramática y monolítica. Una revelación musical sobre la 'Vieja Europa' entre el resurgimiento y su desaparición, entre la emancipación o esclavitud, el alboroto o la revolución...
Esta vez acompañado por dos bellas y valiosas colaboradoras: Welle Erdball y Natcha Von Wynn (una estrella del erotismo en Suiza...).

In an exquisite digipack comes the new album of Von Thronstahl. This controversial band will amplify the opinions about them with this pretty political release. A “musical terrorists network” was founded (with a funny “wanted” leaflet in the middle of the booklet) and the quotes and lyrics that come with each track are clear enough (but can of course still be either fuel or water depending on your own ideas). 19 Tracks seemingly going over most of Von Thronstahl’s musical history with orchestral tracks, marchdrums (fierce of subtle), rocksongs, neofolk and a lot of martial bombast, but also the more sound-collage oriented tracks. Especially the first part of the album is very good with a variety of good tracks and songs with of course a load of samples. The overall length is 70 minutes. For people worrying about the musical direction of the band: the way the songs are created may remind of “Bellum, Sacrum Bellum?!”, but sound does not really. On the other hand, neither is the sound as dark as on the early releases (which I guess will not be topped anymore). “Germanium Metallicum” is a real Von Thronstahl album and like all of the others, it is pretty good too.

Esta es una pieza de coleccionista editada en cuidado formato digipack y limitada a 350 copias. Fantástico trabajo de esta banda ya famosa dentro del campo Martial/Industrial que incluye dos versiones en formato acústico-darkfolk de temas antiguos mas una increíble versión del “Runes And Men” de DEATH IN JUNE y una bonita canción tradicional rusa (el disco está dedicado a la madre Rusia, la madre de los Dolores), por supuesto cantada en ruso por una cantante femenina de bella voz. A diferencia de sus discos predesores, repletos de himnos militaristas y guitarras belicosas, este es un trabajo repleto de melancolía y belleza, mostrando la parte más sensible de estos guerreros.
