Dave Aftandilian As I step into the thick-shadowed woods, evergreen boughs whisper in the chill breeze, beckoning me onward. The deeper I go, the darker it becomes, till I begin to notice pale glowing lights all around in shades of sapphire, lavender, and ashen white. A stately figure stalks here, tall, tangle-haired, and antlered, murmuring invocations as she bends to pluck these fungal fruits. My greeting dies unspoken as a breath of moldering spore-powder from her blackened lips sends me to eternal sleep.

about

MØRKE OG LYS – Orcus Animus (DAP091)

On the next chapter of this musical journey Mørke Og Lys with the album Orcus Animus Volva Èrkyna plods inside the misty dark forests eleven days after the rainfall, to hunt for clammy poisonous mushrooms so she may brew her magical potions and spread utter mayhem upon the mortals.

On Orcus Animus, there exists a balance between dungeon synth and atmospheric black metal with few touches of vocals in 3 tracks. The reason for this evolution is because the Sorceress Èrkyna has become darker and powerful with time and ferocity has become her soundtrack!

There will be a part two of this opus in the near future. Sorceress Èrkyna shall gather all the ingredients she needs; performing her first spell upon mankind who destroyed her and exiled her into the gloomy and murky forests.

Dark age Productions is pleased to announce the release of the second full length album by one-woman Viking metal artist Hildr Valkyrie. This cassette album features 10 tracks named after our fungal brethren of the woods.
