about

”Yen Sonn Gardis” ("Cold Hard Severe") was recorded at BELENOS home studio as always, between December 2009 and April 2010, and mixed/mastered at the same place in June 2010. The entire album is sung in Breton, the old Celtic language of Brittany, which is very similar to Cornish but is spoken by a mere 200 000 people throughout the world - less than Icelandic!

As always, the lyrics deal with classical themes such as winter, death, pride, nature, Celtic legends and rituals and ancient battles and the music is very much BELENOS! As usual there's everything in it - harsh Black Metal, melodic Pagan Metal with heroic choirs, elaborate song structures with lots of details that make the songs grow on you the more you listen to them, in short, the singular BELENOS style that makes you recognize instantly which band you're listening to. If you're a fan of the previous works there's no way you can't possibly like the new record!

Umbras de Barbagia
by Downfall of Nur

supported by 4 fans who also own “Yen Sonn Gardis”

After listening to Ysyry Mollvün, listening to Downfall of Nur was urgent and turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in quite some time: Umbras de Barbagia is simply magisterial; the atmosphere can hardly be compared to anything else. There is a deep, palpable connection to nature imbueing each very fibre of this record. The amalgamation of black metal and folk elements is done with a high intuition for detail and class, resulting in a highly immersive experience. Wonderful. David Fischer

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken

Gegrepen Door de Geest der Zielsontluiking
by FLUISTERAARS

supported by 4 fans who also own “Yen Sonn Gardis”

thanks Fluisteraars! I just love your music. A very good atmosphérique black metal band with experimental/ ambient passage. This album is literally one of my classics in my black metal journey. The first time I heard this record, I feel scared and no other album make me feel that. Just, I feel like it's probably my favourite black metal album of all time. Continue in that way ! quentin_milcent
