Winterkronieken by Melancholie

Winterkronieken (Winter Chronicles)offers three narrations of winter, combining the personal with the allegorical. Cold Atmospheric Black Metal traditions continued with more melodic passages to fully capture the melancholic message of the wintery narratives.

The single off this record, 'Vervlogen met de zwavelrook', is a musical ode to Hans Christian Andersen's Girl With The Matches, a winter drama wrapped in a cold Black Metal cloak. While ‘De Treurwilg’ treats desolate natural landscapes as metaphor for personal struggles, the title track ‘Winterkronieken’ hearkens back to the very first Melancholie recordings, and weaves these together in a lengthy epic.

I am thrilled to announce that Melancholie is now signed with Naturmacht Productions! Winterkronieken will be released as Pro CDR in high quality 6-Panel DigiPak, limited to 100 copies. CDs are available via Naturmacht Productions, and a couple of copies will be distributed via Chronos Defied as well.
