Shores of Ladon (DEU) – Witterung CD

Black Metal

Eight years have past since SHORES OF LADON’s acclaimed debut album “Eindringling”. Finally, Sol Records brings to you its successor: “Witterung”. In German language the title itself refers to an old-fashioned word for weather as well as to the animalistic sense of smell, especially in hunter’s vocabulary. Similarly SoL’s music on here sets wolfish passion, invasively detailed guitar work and sharp tension-filled songwriting amidst an endearing autumnly cold Black Metal atmosphere. Together with the equally multi-layered poetic lyrics – filled with emotional chasms, intensive experiences in nature and subtly interwoven motives from literature and folklore – these seven songs, encompassing 48 minutes with no intro, outro or intermezzo, might easily represent SHORES OF LADON at their artistic climax so far.
