Rabenhirn, Ars Moriendi - Rabenhirn Ars Moriendi

Review by Jan Veneziani

Rabenhirn's debut album, Ars Moriendi, is a haunting and atmospheric blend of dark ambient and neoclassical music. The album takes its name from the medieval Latin phrase ars moriendi, or "the art of dying," and explores themes of mortality and the supernatural.

From the opening track, "Memento Mori," with its eerie choral vocals and somber piano, the listener is transported into a world of shadowy beauty. The album's instrumentation is sparse but effective, with delicate strings and mournful horns adding to the overall sense of melancholy.

One standout track is "Danse Macabre," which features a haunting melody played on a music box, accompanied by ghostly whispers and eerie sound effects. The album's final track, "Requiem," brings the journey to a fittingly somber close, with mournful strings and haunting vocals.

Rabenhirn's Ars Moriendi is a beautiful and haunting album that is sure to appeal to fans of dark ambient and neoclassical music. It is a stunning debut from a talented artist, and a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that explores the darker aspects of the human experience.
