Magistraal cultivates a wide arsenal of tempo, rhythm and instrumental styles for the listener — where the title track “Fantoom van de Deemsterburcht” and the eruption of “Waar leed zich eeuwig voedt” are presented with overwhelming violence, the centerpiece of this allotment of music is a constructive opus of 11 minutes of growing madness in the form of “Mijn branded licht”. Dutch evil produced in three depraved episodes, each embracing its own godless theme, but which merge into a creeping, lugubrious muck. Magistraal — a jet-black concoction sprung from the depths of the Shadow Mountains, fashioned in the gruesome sight of the eight hateful eyes of Shelob and beautified by the enchanting fingers of Fëanor, maestro of architecture. Cultivated by two opposing, ancient powers; she is mistress of the cold, dark, drizzly existence and embittered by a lonely exile, cast into a darkness where her shrill voice was banished for an eternity. He was a powerful designer of splendor, an inventor of works of art and a superior preserver of light, a perfectionist whose work proved to be a refuge for the apostate. In reality, the duo does not want to reveal much about themselves, comparing a presence in the scene to an enigmatic and mystical existence of black metal in the 90s, reawakened in 2023. Magistraal is an expression of fantasy, dreamscapes, the power of imagination, emotion and kinship, audible in hidden lyrics underpinned by an atmospheric, yet raw approach to workings in dark music. + ZWAERTGEVEGT + Webshop: https://zwaertgevegt.nl/ Facebook: / zwaertgevegt Instagram: / zwaertgevegt_label Upload on behalf of Magistraal
