SOLD OUT FROM THE LABEL. LAST COPIES!
Every so often, a band emerges and offers a piece of music that takes the reigning dogma of a genre and basically ignores it. The result is something alien but, for its vacancy of expectations, oddly familiar, like a dream bleeding into wakefulness.
Paradoxically, rarely does such ambition leave room for a gray area; either the work is a marked success or a disaster. In running such a risk, ERRAUNT manages to capture the same kind of magic present in albums like ULVER's Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr I 5 Capitler or VED BUENS ENDE's Written in Waters.
Hazy, desolate and mystical, The Portent is black metal unconcerned with popularity or satisfying a chip on its shoulder and is content, rather, to simply remain lost in its own dream.
Limited to 200 hand-numbered copies, 57 of which were destroyed in a flood. Includes 4 distinct tarot-styled prints housed in a bespoke, hand-crafted/printed, wax-sealed envelope
