+1476+ - Wildwood / The Nightside CD

Wildwood is a dark, haunting work that bridges the gap between Atmospheric Metal, NeoFolk, driving Punk, and Dark Ambient/Experimental music. This is a commentary on human nature using Hermetic, Elemental, and Animal imagery—sometimes metaphorically, sometimes not. Sometimes universally, sometimes personally. These ideas are reflected musically by placing emphasis on more ‘wooden’ sounding instruments in an attempt to create an earthy, dense, and grounded vibe. The other instruments serve as substance and ethereal sky to create balance. As above, so below.

The Nightside EP was originally released in an edition of 50 as part of the Seraphim House release of the special edition of Wildwood. It is a somber, poised, and atmospheric counterpoint to Wildwood’s dense and sometimes abrasive sound.

For fans of Alcest, Les Discrets, Amebix, Current 93, Ulver’s black metal ‘trilogy’, and Danzig/Samhain.

Originally released in December 2012 by New England art collective Seraphim House. Reissued in 2016 as a 2 LP and 2 CD set by Germany’s wayward metal and dark folk label Prophecy Productions.

2 CD, 6 panel Digipak including 4-track bonus CD "The Nightside" EP. Comes with a full color booklet of lyrics and art.
