Ukrainian folk black metal band WAIDELOTTE presents their new song “Crimson Waves” – a sweeping and affecting digital standalone single.
Listen below:
On ‘Crimson Waves‘ the core of vocalist Andrii (FLOSCULE, ex-WHITE WARD), bassist/main composer Zlat (ex-SOEN), guitarists Bohdan/Mykhailo and drummer Igor (ex-SECTORIAL) use multifarious vocal styles – by turns anthemic, emotive and vicious – powerfully interwoven riffing and an epically dynamic arrangement to juxtapose the agonies of war with recollections of bygone beauty.
The band states: “This song reflects the Russian annexation of Crimea and the looting of historical artifacts, many of which have been illegally removed from the peninsula. The single’s cover art alludes to this narrative quite literally!”
Alongside the new single, WAIDELOTTE also present a special t-shirt design (man’s/woman’s) featuring the cover artwork. Orders for the t-shirt are possible via DMP’s EU and Bandcamp shops, and the single can be obtained from Bandcamp.
WAIDELOTTE is a new extreme metal act from Ukraine which skilfully combines black metal, melodic death metal and progressive metal with traditional folk singing and instrumentation. The project gathers individuals with diverse musical backgrounds, including members of SOEN, WHITE WARD, NAONI ORCHESTRA, Тінь Сонця, SOLAR KOLLAPSE, and CASA URAINA amongst others.
Mother of THE VOID.
Underground music is the ultimate weapon against mediocrity.
