Today and
thoughout the weekend Stereogum will stream WINTERFYLLETH’s The
Threnody of Triumph in its entirety! Recorded in Wales with
producer Chris Fielding (Primordial, Electric Wizard), The Threnody of
Triumph is the band’s third full-length and will hit North American
shores via Candlelight Record on Tuesday, September 25.
Stereogum
already applauded the record for its, “sweeping, melodic grandeur and
instrumental intricacies,” adding that, “there’s absolutely no reason why fans
of Agalloch or Wolves In The Throne Room wouldn’t find much to love in WINTERFYLLETH’s
expansive, explosive, folk-based black metal,” while Pitchfork boasts, “It's the rare record that's worth an
unbroken hour of your time: WINTERFYLLETH have outdone
themselves once again, writing a collection as epic as the sweep of history and
memories of grand old Albion that inspire their songs.”
Turn up and go
to battle at THIS LOCATION.
WINTERFYLLETH combine vicious yet moody,
folk-inspired black metal that harkens back to the early days of Enslaved and
old-school Ulver. The band’s lyrics delve into tales of England’s archaic
history, recounting major events, battles. They draw inspiration from sites and
scenery gracing the countryside that has played an integral part in the
country’s history. Formed in 2007, WINTERFYLLETH features
Vocalist/guitarist C. Naughton with drummer S. Lucas, guitarist M. Wood, and
bassist N. Wallwork.
“The Threnody of Triumph …builds
a monument of utter brilliance upon an already superlative foundation. Riffs
pummel from all angles. The majestic scale of the thing is so inspiring that a
palpable feeling of grandeur becomes the dominant subtext, each section
swelling into an impossibly emotive crescendo.” -- Lurkers Path
“WINTERFYLLETH have
not only created their best work to date but are also sitting on one of the
best releases of the year. Releases like this are incredibly rare, for this is
art in its purest form. A threnody of triumph indeed, perhaps more than the
band ever realized,” – Blistering
“WINTERFYLLETH cement
their standing as one of England’s most dynamic and interesting black
metal acts.” – This Is Not A Scene
“…sure
footed, confident, elegantly composed and epic.” – Ave Noctum
