Garden State blackened metal troupe WINDFAERER are
currently streaming “A Glimpse of Light,” the second track off
their new EP, Solar. The self-released follow-up to the band’s
critically-acclaimed Tribus debut was recorded
with Bobby Torres at Frightbox Recording in Clifton, New Jersey and offers up
seven tracks of sadistic beauty laden with elements of black and melodic death
metal while exuding a folkloric edge.
Check out “A Glimpse of Light” at THIS LOCATION.
Literally meaning “one who travels with the wind,” as in a
vessel at sea, WINDFAERER began as a means of self expression
for guitarist/bassist/vocalist Michael Gonçalves, inspired by his
Hispanic/Iberian heritage and fueled by his passion for extreme music. With WINDFAERER,
he focused his energies on creating a melodic, blasting and emotional entity
and eventually recruited like-minded musicians in violinist Benjamin Karas and
drummer JP Andrade.
Gonçalves notes: "This music is a vessel for my
expression. WINDFAERER is not to follow trends or be part of a
scene of some sort; it is about independence and being true.Solar feels
like a healthy progression for WINDFAERER's music,” he continues.
“I've included more input from my bandmates in the writing process and we're
excited to show the world our brand of metal with this EP. We are more
energized than ever to keep creating."
“Featuring a sound reminiscent of the UK’s Forefather
with a strong melodic black metal presence, the atmospheric intentions of Sear
Bliss and folk metal’s best…” – Metaltome.com
