Procession

Description

After a decade of exploring the invisible world, during which the band performed over a hundred concerts across Europe (including three tours, Hellfest, Desertfest, and Roadburn), Wolvennest is back with a double LP: Procession. Those who follow the occult music scene will know what to expect: a strange blend of psych/doom with a touch of darkness found in black metal. Massive guitars, synths/mellotrons, melancholic yet oppressive atmospheres, all enveloped in Shazzula's haunting voice and the theremin, lead a bizarre ceremony reflecting the consequences of a dark journey, culminating in death and apocalypse. Procession also marks the first collaboration between Wolvennest and the Belgian label Consouling Sounds. Primarily self-recorded and mixed/mastered by long-time producer Déhà at Blackout Studios, this fifth album features artwork by Arts of Maquenda, who also created the artwork for Temple in 2020. Speaking of tradition, as always, Wolvennest welcomes guest appearances, this time with Hekte Zaren, the enigmatic voice behind black metal's best-kept secret: Adaestuo. Sects, curses, death rituals, and psychotropics create a strange atmosphere, showing that the band is ready for another decade of sonic exploration, enhanced live by surreal projections. The procession describes a world where the cross is inverted and where portals constantly open, granting access to the invisible realm and the other self.
