about

A Journey Upon Ancient Lands is loosely set as a concept album. With the arrival of Christianity throughout Central and Northern Europe in the early middle ages, Paganism and Christianity coexisted for a time with often intermingling beliefs and levels of tolerance of which such an influence can be seen throughout the architecture, art, customs and traditions from the long distant past that have managed to survive to the present day.

As decades passed into centuries many within society perceived a belief in the old gods as too primitive to be acceptable. Heeding the call of the wolf, one isolated Pagan tribe head east, to brave the long and perilous journey towards the wild and untamed reaches of the towering Carpathians, in the hope to one day gather a large enough army to fight for the right to retain the preservation of heritage and traditions of old. Ultimately they learn their only fate is an honorable death. The story paints a picture of this journey with songs such as Olden Forests Of Germania, The Raven And The Majestic Rocky Peaks, Calling Of The Wolf and concluding with the song The Journey Ends ( Rise Of The Old

Where the Gods Whisper Your Name Amongst Themselves
by Idylls of the Last King

supported by 29 fans who also own “A Journey Upon Ancient Lands”

Bloody Hell. This is good stuff. Otherworldly drones on an epic stereo scale, with some truly beautiful moments of Satie-esque piano sequences. I love the percussion in 'Entering the Realm of Dis Pater' - as if the drum is broadcasting from another galaxy. Some soaring Blade Runner synth swells throughout also, but done in such a way that this is a very unique album with influences but ultimately this is 'Idylls' own unique sound and experience. Look forward to checking more out. vuhvoidloves

This album is fantastic. Perfectly polished in all the right ways, but organic and human in all the right ways as well. Dense atmosphere, orchestral, beautiful and plainly epic. Definitely one of my favorites from this year. Evergreen

Ethereal Hymns
by Elminster x Piva

supported by 25 fans who also own “A Journey Upon Ancient Lands”

The title gets it right, a very ethereal exposition. The color purple has always been an other worldly yet nostalgic and melancholic color. The album art was a good choice for this release. I find a lot of dungeon synth to be formulaic but the releases by this artist page have been a welcome divergence from the norm. The final track by Elminster almost makes me think of the final level of Mirror's Edge, a very different aesthetic. Shoigunjinsho
