Xibalba

Ritualistic black metal mixed with native South American wood and wind instruments; WARDUNA meets MAQUAHUITL (but the black metal aspect is often more ceremonial, epic, and measured, and less riffy and chaotic).

The most jaw-droppingly stunning album I have heard for a very long time. Listening, I repeatedly have to stop whatever I am doing, and in stillness absorb the mesmeric beauty of this incredible work of art unfold with tears of wonder. Majestic.

Evocative ritualistic / occult black metal with cinematic compositions. Incredibly unique in style, Ershetu works to incorporate traditional instruments into their approach that already focuses on orchestration
The dramatic vocals ggive an eclectic lifeblood to the album. Immersive in execution, the album has a remarkable effectiveness in evoking the smoke and fire symbolic of life and death found within spirituality.
Opens up and becomes more compelling as it progresses as well Favorite track: The Place Of Fright.

about
ERSHETU was formed in 2021 by conceptualist/lyricist Void and composer Sacr to create cinematic music which merges epic, obscure and atmospheric Metal with the poignant dramaticism of film scores. Each forthcoming album from the project will explore conceptions of Death within a particular civilization or religion.
Evocative debut album "Xibalba" - which focuses upon Mayan folklore – uses an interpretation of ideas from sacred text the Popol Vuh, not as a historical or ethnological lesson, but to vividly transport listeners into a tumultuous ancient world where Life & Death were perpetually intertwined.
From an impeccable orchestral core swathed in folk instrumentation, the unmistakeable impassioned singing and entranced chanting of Lars Nedland (BORKNAGAR, SOLEFALD) soars skyward before cascading down into an arid undertow of textural Black Metal guitars performed by Vindsval (BLUT AUS NORD, FORHIST).
A uniquely expressive soundworld forged from ancient culture, modern creativity and idiosyncratic songcraft – "Xibalba" is an intricate, emotive musical journey free of fixed stylistic boundaries.

Disharmonium - Nahab
by Blut Aus Nordsupported by 84 fans who also own “Xibalba”
Nightmarish avant-garde black metal twisting the very confines and structure of the genre. Blut Aus Nord presents a staggering second album in the series that brings together their black metal origins, pioneering filthy industrial grime, and progressive / post metal wanderings all into an insane world Dense and swirling, dissonant and complex, enshrouded in a abyssal darkness. Spun from expansive soundscapes steeped in an aura of complete blackness, offering a view into the universe of madness
