What a pleasant surprise behind this beautiful cover art. Special vibe goes for me to Haunted Melancholic Obsessions, my instant favourite of this great album.
@@Ronarg_The_Terrible First of all, a great album and a pleasant surprise for the end of 2023. As for the mentioned ringing/buzzing, it doesn't bother me too much but I suppose it would be better if it was toned down a bit :) My only complaint lies with the vocals: they’re too much buried and sometimes almost or totally incomprehensible in the mix. Yeah, I know that in BM vocals are mostly used as another instrument and usually not meant for clear aural understanding but I really hope the vocals would be more forward and audible in the mix on the next albums. @Ronarg_The_Terrible If I'm not asking too much and if you see this comment, could you please clarify some words from the lyrics? Thanks a lot in advance if you find some time to answer me. 1. _The Night of Blood_ (4:56), I hear something like 'As I ?rip? my eyes'. I can't hear in any possible way the word _open_ as it mentioned in the booklet (As I open my eyes...) Is there something wrong with my hearing or not? :) 2. _Cursed Charms of Death_ , some words are missing in the booklet. At (6:36) it is: 'Grant me the strength to fight the evil god'. Correct? 3. _The Hunter's Dream_ , (26:40) in the stream: 'The moon festers in silence'. Is it really the verb _fester_ (to generate pus; to undergo or exist in a state of progressive deterioration)? IMO, it doesn't make any sense here. Maybe it should be _feast_ or _feed_ ? The horror is preying, the moon feasts/feasting in silence?
@@tipptopp2328 a good day to you! Firstly thank you very much. Secondly yes the vocals being in the background is a valid complaint and will be adjusted next time. 1 that’s definitely supposed to be open. 2 yes the lyrics in the booklet are wrong, I think this is because I changed them in the moment of recording and never corrected them afterwards. I wrote it down somewhere but I’d have to search for it. 3 festering as in brooding. To slowly await its perfect moment to strike with hatred. The moon on this album is actually an trapped eldrich horror slowly feeding on the essence of the people living below the castle making them mad. That’s why there is 2 moons on the albumcover. This is more clear in the uncut version of the song where the last line of that part goes like this “the moon is alive”, but that would have been to much on the nose so it was removed. I’m telling this here because no one is going to read this comment anyway hahaha. This is also why in the 4th song the lyrics goes like this “fear the light of the moon”. Because while being ideal for the hunt it’s also slowly killing eveyone. As I’ve said before this whole thing was written like a short gothic horror story. But I’m not gonna go in more detail anymore as most of it is spread out in different places, multiple hardrives and just overall a big chaotic mess to really sort it out. And in the end the results need to speak for themselves. Cheers
@@Ronarg_The_Terrible, thanks a lot for finding some time to answer me. Your info was very insightful, especially some background bits about the album's setting. English is my second language, too, so your comments really helped me to better understand the lyrics and enjoy the album even more. Thanks again, and I wish you a great success in your current and future endeavors :)
the whole mix has this constant unpleasant ring of too much treble to it that gives me a headache while trying to follow the otherwise superbly constructed melodies.
@@ImmortalFrostprod it is a rather personal pet peeve to be honest 🤷 I happen to enjoy some badly produced black metal and this here is far from badly produced - the constant hiss just hits me wrong I guess. overall the music itself is carrying it just fine.
One of my highlights from 2023 and great cover art. Hope to see "them" live in Germany one day.
who knows....
Fav. album of the year for sure.

Gaat direct bij de favorieten, naast Helleruin en Asagraum!
Tering wa goe zeg!
Anyone else got Bloodborne vibes from the lyrics?
Bloodborne and Castlevania were the main inspiration sources yes
Album increíble,como se me pasó este maravilloso album??
Awsome Fucking Black Metal
🖤🤘🎉
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
666 x 🤘🖤🍻
Does the bandname mean what I think it means, or...?
It's dutch and means "Blood Moon". It has nothing to do with the german "Blödmann". lol
Is german the only language where this bandname sounds stupid?
Ach, du bist doch ein Blödmann!....😉
lol that was my first thought too.
Yeap! Says more about the German Language I guess xD (joke) It is flemish btw, but we know germans read it the wrong way.

This is the realm of raw blackmetal 🤟🏻
I don't hear it :D But perhaps we're used to these kind of productions.

You too, eh
@@MantleOfDust If you think this production is difficult to listen to, don't ever listen to Nattens Madrigal, it will probably give you an aneurysm.
Really awesome MASTERPIECE... glad I found this 💎 🤘😎🤘🇲🇾
