THANK YOU! Alda has always spoken directly to my soul, and having listened to all their stuff on repeat for years made me receive this almost as a gift and a relief. I need this in my physical collection, where passage and tahoma already sit. Greetings from Colombia!
They get better album by album. This record is a pure Masterpiece and you know exactly what i'm Tolkien about. It's amazed me how cool this band is again. Keep the strong roots and do anything what you want, you cannae do mistakes in my opinion. I totally adore the New Alda album. Congrats guys! 🍻🐺
Magnificent Album! Finally it's here. An exelent work charged with enegy and a memorable atmosphere. One of the best releases of 2021. Infinite thanks to Alda and Eisenwald!
as others have said, truly a triumphant and powerful album! so many memorable and beautiful moments throughout, and awesome art. Instantly one of my favorites!
*Yes! This is what I have been waiting for for months! Finally!* And I just ACCIDENTALLY opened my home page and saw this as recommended! I'm in the first 500 listeners! :)))
Yeah man, this is cool. To me, it has a similar vibe to Passage but harks back to their self-titled, with dimensions that are new. Alda, if you guys see these comments (hope you do, lots of positivity!!!) keep it up. Definitely doing your own thing here and doing it well.
In Black Metal there are few countries that have best black metal scenes- Norway, Sweden, Finland are definitely the best( i must say , Norway and Finland have about 5 millions of people each, Sweden 10 millions. After these countries are Greece, Poland, France, Germany, Ukraine, Russia and then USA and Canada( especially Quebec), but that's just my opinion , the matter of taste for you are maybe US bands the best, someone will argue that Brazil, Mexico and Colombia are unjustly underrated when they really have crazy underground scenes. Fenriz from Darkthrone said when they were beginning, 1991,there were only norwegian, swedish and greek black metal schools
@@Mors_Atra_ Hmmm, maybe but Ridgeway usually left bodies in or near Green River. Bundy on the other hand dropped them off on the N. Part of Taylor Mountain. They also reside closer to Rainier, so you might want to find a killer closer to the mountain to discover the true killer!
c´mon guys. The flight of sleipnir, Fluisteraars and now this. Looks like i got to pick 3 Albums of the year for this year. Also....Forlorn Peaks, pure Agalloch worship, without ripping them off. Its really fucking fantastic. One question....when will the vinyl be released?
Well, at least you have the choice between these three, total luxury to have enough music that you totally enjoy haha... we and our artists do appreciate the support, thanks!
As for the vinyl of the album, unfortunately, we stopped to contribute to the pre-sale vinyl madness and rather want to offer something once we have it in our hands and know it is all great, send pictures of REAL records, and so forth. So that being said, we are still a bit away from this, but it will be in the coming months. You can sign up on our EU Store product pages for notifications...
@@Brian-do8cf Yes for both, we will have copies and the US Store will have copies while stock lasts. It will become more interesting to check the US Store in the next months since there are some significant shipping changes coming that will end up making oversea postage very very spendy...
I would give this album a 8/10, I feel like the structures of the songs are too repetitive (build-up, heavy part, melodic part, build-up...). Overall I really enjoyed the album :) the last track is especially awesome 🤘.
@@පැතුම්රාජපක්ෂ Thank you for correcting me. I'm still not polyglott enough to recognize them all, but I'm working on it. Anyway, greetings from the Doubs river in France and rock on!
@@franzlwang3253 nah man its bad gear. first mayhem album sounds fucking great and was recorded in one of the best if not the best studios in norway. this is just bad mixing. ive seen them live they own decent equipment and are good musicians.
I do wish that people would stop with the stupid genre classifications, like 'Cascadian Black Metal'. This is Black Metal (ok, we can say with folk elements, that's fine) and it's very, very good black metal.
Well, agreed. The point here is not to confuse people, point being is that Cascadian Black Metal is not just a sub, micro whatever genre, it is more of an area-based, geological trademark. And most of the bands from that area share and appreciate similar things, or have them reflected with their music, like nature, wilderness, folk-ish elements, atmosphere, also a certain rawness you could say. There is some sort of usual sound you can expect. So if you read this little info about CBM, you can be pointed in the right direction as a listener as this really is sort of precise info on what to expect. Much more refined as, for example, saying Black Metal.
I want to know what I'm listening to and what bands sound similar to that if I want more to it. I like these classifications, because they help me to find more music with the stuff I like in it.
Que extraño lo que comentas, en las 2 producciones anteriores, las baterías están grabadas a modo "garbage" con los ecos y resonancias ambientales que ese modo generan. En cambio ahora, en ADF, las baterias parecieran estar grabadas de una manera más convencional en un estudio de grabación con mejor producción, dando un sonido mas definido y limpio según mi apreciación. Me gusta como suena la verdad.
@@WentruManke Le eche un escuchada al PASSAGE y es lo q tu dices se escucha mucho peor ,pero para mi en este en las partes rapidas la bateria se pierde en la produccion 🤘🏼👍🏼
I don't know how to explain this without coming of as pretentious but one of the goals of black metal is to escape the commercial cycle of highly polish studio music. By avoiding the trap most popular music gets caught in, a cycle of commodification based on record labels, album charts and audio mastering, music like this escaped from an entropic cycle. Yes, it's not perfect, but it's true to the artists who made it without the complications of excessive processing. It retains raw energy the same way the music of Bathory, Burzum, Summoning and other relatively non-commercial artists do. The focus is on the music, not on the production.
Every work of this band is a masterpiece
Thanks for the nice comment, keep up coming! 🔥
just wow, this masterpiece blew my mind so many times. Thank You folks for releasing such art
Sehr schöne Scheibe - perfekt um den Herbst einzuläuten! 🍂
Amazing album. It picks up right were "Passage" left off, but this is heavier! And with an unmistakable Cascadian sound. Welcome back Alda!
Great to read that, that is exactly what we thought as well
THANK YOU! Alda has always spoken directly to my soul, and having listened to all their stuff on repeat for years made me receive this almost as a gift and a relief. I need this in my physical collection, where passage and tahoma already sit. Greetings from Colombia!
waking up to this, absolutely wonderful, thanks Alda & Eisenwald
it's the first time i've heard this band. and what a surprise! very good!
They get better album by album. This record is a pure Masterpiece and you know exactly what i'm Tolkien about.
It's amazed me how cool this band is again. Keep the strong roots and do anything what you want, you cannae do mistakes in my opinion.
I totally adore the New Alda album.

Being they're from Washington state it's probably a body Gary Ridgeway left.

Bad mixing is a staple of the genre to the point of being a meme

Me sigue pareciendo el sonido de la bateria sin un buen sonido pero mi opinión , sobretodo en las partes rapidas
ShoegazeBlackmetal.🔥🔥
If anything, we can see some sort of "post-rock" in there, just nothing "shoegaze" like, to rugged, gnarly, rustic, folky with Alda :)
That would be Chrome Division or even the newest Deafheaven (who was always more screamo)
I do wish that people would stop with the stupid genre classifications, like 'Cascadian Black Metal'.
This is Black Metal (ok, we can say with folk elements, that's fine) and it's very, very good black metal.

I'm glad to see just a compliment in a so called subgenre like "Cascadian Black Metal". A very strong branding, may I say
