MYTHBEGOTTEN RELEASE "TALES FROM THE UNSEELIE COURT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The debut album from epic metal band MYTHBEGOTTEN is now streaming and available for purchase! On their first outing, MYTHBGOTTEN promises to regale listeners with an aural tome filled with stories of legend, myth, and the macabre, collectively titled Tales from the Unseelie Court.

Stream and order the album at mythbegotten.bandcamp.com/album/tales-from-the-unseelie-court

Hailing from the hills and woodlands of Central New York and New England, MYTHBEGOTTEN combines a love of legends old and new with a folk-inflected fusion of metal genres to arrive at a uniquely epic and melancholic melodic concoction.

The result is an eight-track journey that reaches Tolkien-esque levels of grandeur. The band offers an in-depth look at the inspiration behind Tales from the Unseelie Court.

"The key inspiration for the individual songs includes the Dullahan (an evil fey from Irish Mythology) which inspired the song "The Heedless Horseman", Sawney Bean (a legendary Scottish Cannibal and inspiration for "The Hills Have Eyes") which inspired the song "The Terror of Lothian", H.P. Lovecraft's "The Rats in The Walls" which inspired the song "Beneath Exham Priory", The Welsh Legend of the Wild Hunt which inspired the song "Mallt-y-Nos", the Arthurian legend of Merlin and the Dragons which inspired the song "Omen of Embers", The melancholy book 4 of Milton's "Paradise Lost" which inspired the song "The Fall", and the climactic Battle of the Pelennor Fields from Tolkien's "The Return of The King" which inspired the song "Of Wrath and Ruin". This is all rounded out by an arrangement of the classic Scots ballad "Twa Corbies" which brings together the old traditions of British Isles balladry with this modern sonic storytelling which MYTHBEGOTTEN bases its songwriting upon."

The Journey So Far...

A decade ago in Syracuse, New York, Connor Hoffman, Daniel Barbour, and Joe Sopchak released the Stirling demo under their Folk/Power Metal fusion project Hounds of Annwn. Shortly thereafter, they performed their only live show at the Sturmfeier folk metal festival in Hamlin, New York, but with college and work taking priority, the three soon scattered throughout the Northeast. All knew, however, that there was much left undone, songs left unsung, and stories left untold.

In 2022, after years of sporadic songwriting and fits and starts of recording, the trio re-committed to bringing their vision of folk- and symphonic-infused Power Metal to fruition under the new moniker MYTHBEGOTTEN. This name was chosen for its elegant encapsulation of the band’s ethos: to chronicle the stories from myth, fantasy, and history that have inspired them.

Tales from the Unseelie Court is the first release from this reforged musical triumvirate and is centered around the folklore of the British Isles and literary fantasy, showcasing the eerie and macabre as well as the wondrous and heroic. Listeners feel as though they are sitting amidst a gathering of the Unseelie Fey Court, hearing great and terrible stories retold to the assembled congregation.

MYTHBEGOTTEN is excited to reveal its unique blend of metallic styles in this first eldritch release and looks forward to sharing tales even stranger and more wondrous with the world.

Line-Up:

Dan Barbour – Lead Vocals

Connor Hoffman – Guitars, Backing Vocals, Additional Keyboards

Joe Sopchak – Keyboards, Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals

EQUILIBRIUM PRESENT NEW VERSION OF CLASSIC TRACK "MET"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

EQUILIBRIUM have come a long way since the release of their debut album "Turis Fratyr" in 2005 that created a milestone in the epic pagan metal world of the new century.

While their long sold out sophomore album "Sagas" will finally be re-released on vinyl on November 12th (only a few copies left to order at https://bfan.link/Equilibrium-Sagas ), the band now takes you even further back into their past and invited musicans, friends, tv stars and youtubers to join them on this new interpretation of their legendary hit 'Met' which has always made fans from across the world raise their glasses to the stage and sing along. With keyboard, violin, accordeon, traverse flute and many spectacular guest solos, this is definitely a perfect worldwide celebration for the band's 20th anniversary, so watch EQUILIBRUM and countless celebrities such as members from Saltatio Mortis, Solstafir, Lord Of The Lost, Primordial come together for this uplifting as well as hilarious version of an evergreen - 'Met (20 Years Later)': https://youtu.be/gCxd9DBuWSU

Guitarist and founding member René Berthiaume comments:

"I still remember how I did sit in my bedroom in front the computer, a couple of mead bottles next to me. We wrote this simple first song for our first show but we would have never expected that this would have made such an impact on the underground scene. It was very fun to dig out this track and create a special version with many friends we have met (pun intended) during our journey."

Besides enjoying their favourite mead, EQUILIBRIUM are still busy in the studio with the recording of their upcoming 7th album that is currently scheduled for 2022.

TERSIVEL RELEASE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE "EMBERS BENEATH THE SPIRIT"

PRESS RELEASE:

Argentina/Sweden's TERSIVEL, a pagan metal band based in Malmö, launches its brand new single, the successor to the single "Satyrs Wine Part II" (2018) and the album "Worship of the Gods" (2017).

The new single is titled "Embers Beneath The Spirit".  It can be experienced via the music video on their YouTube channel (check below these lines).

Tersivel commented on the new single:

"We’ve put our substance into the creation of this new song. Its conception has been intense, not only for the less traveled road to exploration we've been taking the last couple of years, but also for getting punched in the face by reality itself. The amount of music out there is, to put it politely, overwhelming, and often it feels like there's more music than listeners. However, the urge to connect with ourselves seems to be satisfied only by being "happy" or by making serious art, pursuing the former is a waste of life, doing the latter properly is impossible, but at least, there's honesty there. Once 'Embers Beneath The Spirit' was ready, we struggled a lot about releasing it or not. Stillness came, and then, nothing. Where did the pleasure of creation go? - We asked ourselves without saying a word. Probably nobody will ever know. The only thing we hope for is that this song will bring you some comfort, whenever and wherever you are. Thanks for listening. Lian, Franco and Danny".

TERSIVEL is a band of altering genres, perhaps centered around vivid soundscapes, where death/doom and post-metal converge. Paganism and heathenry, along with philosophical themes, are the lyrical spine providing support to the emotions of their music.
