VALBORG Streaming New Track “Comtesse"
April 14, 2015, 9 years ago
German dark, primitive metal trio, Valborg, who feature within their ranks current and former members of Owl, Klabautamann, Woburn House, Gruenewald and more will unleash their fifth full-length next month via Temple Of Torturous.
Titled Romantik, the follow-up to 2012's Nekrodepression, features six tracks of morose avant blackened beauty. Ambient synthesizers collide with wistful guitars, all slowly and deliberately hovering above a foundation of pounding rhythms, the band's harsh, German vocal inflections adding further terror to their profoundly bleak brand of funeral power doom.
In anticipation of the release, the band has offered up the album’s third movement, “Comtesse”, which is streaming below.
Romantik was produced, recorded and mixed by Oliver Weiskopf at Stonehenge Studios and mastered by Michael Schwabe at Monoposto Mastering. Following four albums based around experimental, skull-crushing doom, with Romantik, Valborg delves deeper into the heart-tearing atmospheres of the abyss of which they've so boldly explored. Fans of Type O Negative, Vangelis, Killing Joke and Celtic Frost/Triptykon pay heed.
