Komt indd een nieuw Vrîmuot-album aan:
"On their sophomore full-length "Lupus Viridis" ("The Green Wolf"), VRÎMUOT take their listeners into an Otherworld inhabited by mythical creatures of folktales, lore, and legends. The German dark folk innovators are excellent storytellers both in poetic lyrics as well as musically. Mastermind T.S. aka Lupus Viridis has taken giant steps in his musical development since the release of VRÎMUOT's debut album "O Tempora, O Mores!" in 2020. Channelling his growth as an artist and a person in combination with the gained experience of playing live, the dark folk project has extended its ambition and range. With "Lupus Viridis", VRÎMUOT are again testing the imaginary boundaries of their genre. The opening track 'Die Mær vom steinernen Mann' for example even seems to organically and very subtly draw from the rhythmical influences of jazz by a bit of 'taking five'. While expanding on the genre's core aesthetics VRÎMUOT's mythopoeic dark folk does never stray too far from classic neofolk values. VRÎMUOT hail from Germany's fabled Teutoburg Forest and view their "mythopoeic dark folk" as a metaphorical weapon of choice to cathartic effect. The natural world of forests, mountains, and rivers always remains a present force even in the magical otherworld of fairy tales and legends. Magic has also been wielded by Markus Stock, who has beautifully mastered the album for a clear and crisp yet also organic and warm sound, which perfectly complements VRÎMUOT's mood and tales on "Lupus Viridis". VRÎMUOT are taking wide strides with "Lupus Viridis" both lyrically as well as musically. Lean back, relax, and listen to masterful storytelling!"
