From the label that gave you HORDAK, comes CRYSTALMOORS, the latest folk/black metal revelation. This is the Spanish band’s most ambitious effort, a double CD affair where the first part is rooted in celtic/pagan black metal whereas the second part is a folkish interpretation given to the band’s old and new exclusive material. Aptly titled “The Mountains Forgive Us“, this is nature calling out to us via the frosty, wistful tunes that the band triumphantly churn out. It encourages solitary introspection, with tunes that beckon to the overlooked desire in us of being one with nature by keeping mundane affairs aside if only momentarily, and turning pure-hearted and simplistic in spirit and outlook.
They’ve recently released their official lyrics video for “Memories” which can be viewed below.
“The Mountains Forgive Us” was released on September 9th this year, and it is a testament to the raw beauty in metal still, heartily recommended to fans of bands like AGALLOCH, DRUDKH, PRIMORDIAL, THYRFING and CRUACHAN.
