French black metal project AURVANDIL will see their debut album, Yearning, released on July 11th via Germany's Eisenwald Recordings.

Aurvandil was created in MMVI as a spontaneous, scornful, hatred-driven catharsis. Now the yonder beckons, and Aurvandil yearns. For the eternal night, for solitude, for Gaïa. For total extinction. Heralding the Northern spirit once more, the debut album Yearning stands as a cold, harsh manifest of what once was, an ode to spite and a reflection of somber, melancholic hatred.

"Yearning is the debut album of this French project, this time supported by Wiedergänger on drums, which leads to perfection of the sound. A further development to the first Eisenwald installment, Ferd, is to be heard clearly, but Aurvandil remained true to himself. Compositions and sound breathe the spirit of the early '90s, primarily mid-tempo black metal, with fast outbreaks and in contrast slow appearing parts as well as calm acustic passages with folk-influences. The rarely used vocals let the music speak for itself and keep the overall epic and dismal atmosphere."
