L’Espectre Que Alimenta La Flama Dels Ancestres

How do ghosts perceive the world? What perspective of time and space can those who will never rest have? Under this premise, singer Von Päx (Barbarian Swords) and Varg The Mighty (Halflighted, Gorguina, Elven Sorrow) joined forces last year to create L’Espectre Que Alimenta La Flama Dels Ancestres… Indeed, a new entity oriented towards epic black metal, dark ambient, and dungeon synth. Entirely sung in archaic Catalan, the result is Funesta Epifania, a debut album released by Negra Nit on July 26th. On digipack CD limited to 100 hand-numbered copies.

Von Päx reveals itself in this project with a nature that is unseen in the last decade and a half, both when it comes to the lyrics and in the different vocal registers, putting itself behind the ectoplasm of a phantom, of a spectre, which wanders around causing horror and dread, of course, but also reflecting in a telluric, metaphysical way, on the fickle nuance of time, on an idealized remote past, which may never have existed. Of a nebulous present of unspeakable joy, and of a future that surely will not be.

The great architect of Funesta Epifania is Varg The Mighty, who, using synthesizers, percussion, and even swords, has single-handedly created all the music that accompanies Von Päx’s romantic prose. Also recorded at Redrum Studios, Varg has endowed the whole album with a gloomy atmosphere and a distant, enigmatic, absolutely lo-fi and retro sound. To think that he’s not even 20 years old is really scary.

Tracklist:
1. Funesta Epifania
2. Presència A La Runa Dels Temps
3. Fins L’Esglai
