LIHOLESIE - Shamanic Twilight CD
Release of 2021
Comes as digipak.
An
endless world stretches along the path of a wanderer. Thousands of
trails run not only on solid ground underfoot but also through main
streams and rapids of the wayward rivers, striving to carry a daredevil
into their depths. Sometimes they take the wanderer down to the
underworld or take his soul to the skies with the smoke of a ritual
fire.
The
border between the worlds is thinning in the fog and the twilight... A
shaman is the only one who is able to travel along a thousand paths, and
return back on a narrow path known to only to him alone. But the time
will come, and his soul will stop wandering between the worlds.
Spreading its gray wings, his soul will be carried away along the path
known only to him alone.
The upcoming Liholesie album Shamanic Twilight will tell you about it.
Folk
instruments and ethnic percussion will bring you back for thousands of
years and plunge you into the atmosphere of shamanic rituals and
visions. Twilight is upon… the fire is burning out, the shamanic drum is
beating... There are thousands of paths in the smoky haze.

Liholesie
is a sophisticated Russian ethnic-ambient act, whose first demo was
released back in 2002. From 2004 to 2008, Liholesie released four albums
and a split with several metal bands. The project’s music underwent
changes from epic folk ambience to a more ritual atmosphere, so
Liholesie became one of the most famous Russian ambient projects, whose
audience included the fans of different styles, from black metal to
neofolk. Then there was a period of silence, which ended only in 2016
with The Fog of Transition full-length album. It was the music of
untouched nature, lucid dreams, and shamanic trips inspired by a journey
to the Altai Mountains. In 2018 Liholesie released the EP Fables. It
varies from the previous works in more cinematographic sound and mood,
continuing to explore new horizons of ethnic and ritual music. And now
it is high time for a new chapter in the project's history with the new
album Shamanic Twilight. That's the music of dark woods, forgotten
tribal rituals, and spiritual quests, somewhere in between Nordic folk,
darkwave and ritual ambient.
