Druadan Forest - DISMAL SPELLS PART II- THE NIGHT CIRCUS CD

WEREWOLF RECORDS is proud to present DRUADAN FOREST's highly anticipated fifth album, Dismal Spells Part 2 - The Night Circus.By now, DRUADAN FOREST should require little introduction. From their demos in the late '90s to the fever of work from 2016 onward, this Finnish entity has created a vast and magickal world like no other. Naturally, it should come as no surprise given that mainman V-Khaoz is an incredibly prolific veteran of the black metal underground for over 25 years now, and concurrently numbers the likes of VARGRAV, EMBRYONIC SLUMBER, and GRIEVE among his endeavors. With DRUADAN FOREST, however, the emphasis has always been on atmosphere and its transportative qualities. Whether the medium is ominous, titanic-gait black metal, cosmic ambient, pure dungeon synth, or some symbiosis of those, it matters not: the story - and the voyage - from this realm to another is paramount.After the interstellar ambient of 2022's Portals, DRUADAN FOREST returns to a medieval age with Dismal Spells Part 2 - The Night Circus. As spelled out by its title, Dismal Spells Part 2 - The Night Circus is a companion record to 2019's Dismal Spells From the Dragonrealm, arguably V-Khaoz's most massive work to date: four tracks across 73 minutes, a none-more-immersive journey that felt even vaster than its epic length suggested. While scaled back to 38 minutes and comprising eight component tracks, Part 2 is no less immersive; if anything, it portends more magick and daresay whimsy, further fleshing out DRUADAN FOREST's pure dungeon synth worldview.
