Semilanceata - Lifløse Som Stiærneth Hænge I Rymdvalf

Review by Ben D'Agnello

Semilanceata's album Lifløse Som Stiærneth Hænge I Rymdvalf is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that transport the listener to a dark and ethereal realm. The band's use of traditional Nordic instruments, such as the nyckelharpa and the hurdy-gurdy, adds a unique and authentic touch to the overall sound.

The album's opening track, "Urdarbrunnen," sets the tone with its eerie chanting and atmospheric drone. The following songs, such as "Lifløse Som Stiærneth Hænge I Rymdvalf" and "Fenrisulfr," build upon this foundation with intricate melodies and hypnotic rhythms.

The vocals on the album are sparse, but when they do appear, they add to the otherworldly vibe of the music. The lyrics, which are in Old Norse, are cryptic and mysterious, adding to the sense of otherness that pervades the album.

Summary by Ben D'Agnello

Lifløse Som Stiærneth Hænge I Rymdvalf is a masterful work of dark ambient music that will appeal to fans of atmospheric black metal and traditional Nordic folk music alike. Semilanceata has created a truly immersive and otherworldly listening experience that is not to be missed.
