For anyone who is familiar with the history Chinese BM scene, the name "Borkr" should immediately conjureup a feeling of being lost in a raining autumn forest engraved in those murky dreams of the past --- those landscapes so distinct to the poetic soundscape createdby early Drudkh. This one man atmospheric black metal project has been widely acknowledged as the Chinese answer to Drudkh's legacy with his one and only release "Amber" nearly a decade ago. His second full length, titled "Copper", was recorded shortly after the release of Amber yet never got released in any formats. It was also supposed to be the second part of a trilogy that ended up never happened.
The music in Copper may not match many expectations (especially for those into Amber) due to its downplay of that well executed grandiose atmosphere in its predecessor. Without losing its brilliant magik in those hypnotic and nature-evoking riffs, the sonic world ingrained in Copper is much more ancient and solemn --- one may even call it cloistral ---due to the overall low-fi production and (especially) that amateur spirit behind those sloppy yet sometimes shamanic drum beats: many might associateCopper with those veteran spell-casters like early Urfaust and Lönndom/LIK, and it rightfully does so: those mesmerizing melodies in Amber is still present,but much more desolate and rustic, and in many passages even decade and withered - another somber trail without end. Borkr again did what he's bestknown for --- creating sonic labyrinths inside those endless woodlands andstilled creeks forever trapped in the past, only this time everything vanishedinto the rusted color of copper.
It's an honor that Pest Productions will release this long awaited sequence in the the end of this June! 6-panel digipack CD and limited to 200 copies！Moreover, weshall re-issue "The Trilogy" albums on pro-CD, namely"Cosmogaia", "Parallel Worlds of Sorrow" and "The End of Tumult", originally released between 2014 and 2016 by E.D.I.E.H. which is another main project of Borkr. These three albums were only pressed in avery small quantity on CD-r by the band.
