Sigil of Time - Autumn Equinox Anthology [Dark Folk / Dark Ambient]

 

Sigil of Time is a side project of two members of the traditional doom metal band Train to Elsewhere - Maria and Anton. The main concept of the project is transcendental and existential states experienced by a person while communicating with the "dark" and hidden side of nature. This concept unites all the themes of this anthology. The collection includes both early pieces written in the period from 2010 to 2019, and previously unreleased joint works of Maria and Anton, as well as Maria's solo works in 2019. The material, united by a common theme and mood, achieves effect in different ways, combining melancholic rock, neofolk and ambient, black, drone and even funeral doom. But in almost all compositions you will hear atmospheric "heavy" and acoustic guitar, in some places ethnic instruments - flutes, jew's harps, percussion, analog synthesizer noises and samples. If we talk about the creativity that influenced the musicians, then this is a wide horizon, let's name several names: Earth, Xasthur, Old Woman Mkha, Lustmord, The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud, Eduard Artemiev, Splendor Solis, Voice of Eye. The secrets of autumn and a journey to the depths of the unconscious archetypes await you on this release!
