Rockshots Records has announced the signing of Italian folk metal Kanseil. Formed in 2010, the band are a 21st century version of their land’s rich-story telling tapestry, they are bards with instruments, musical archaeologists, excavating the sounds and stories of their country’s past to create something new, beguiling and beautiful. 

Inspired by Eluveitie, Skyforger, Arkona, Agalloch and Alcest plus having performed with the likes of Korpiklaani, At The Gates, Enslaved, Folkstone, Manegarm, Arkona, and Omnia, Kanseil will be releasing their second full-length Fulìsche in 2018 on May 25th for Europe and June 8th for North America. The album follows their 2015 debut Doin Earde released on Nemeton Records.

The band comments:

“'Fulische' are the sparks of a fire moving away from the element they were born from, they shine in their own glow and you can watch them for a few instants before they disappear forever in the dark…In the same way mankind’s stories live in the collective memory until they take flight and you have a limited time to look at them and catch their beauty before they’re lost.”

Preorders can be found at this location.
