[transparent green - limited to 100 copies]
Following their 2021 debut De Rerum Natura, Italian atmospheric/melodic black metal duo Eard is back with their sophomore album, Melancholia.
In the band's words, “Melancholia is a deeply introspective work exploring human experience, heavily influenced by the poetic tradition of Romanticism. A defining aspect of Eard is the atmosphere shaped by the strings of the celtic harp interwoven with wistful, evocative guitar melodies. Continuing the tradition initiated with their debut album, the music is enriched by the vocals of guest artists, including Saor’s mastermind Andy Marshall and Belgian multi-instrumentalist Déhà (SLOW, Déhà, Acathexis and many more), who was featured in the previous album and returns this time to contribute to two tracks”.
Eard pays homage to Anglo-Saxon poetry, such homage beginning with the very name of the band, the Old English word used to describe the concept of earth, land and home. Melancholia tells tales of misty lands of old and ancient voyages across the seas, and its haunting melodies will pierce through the greyness of everyday life.
