about
Release uploaded for promotional purposes with musicians agreement
Strixskog was originally founded by Ærendraca, and the lineup was consistently changing over several years. The band further experimented with different genres and started with dungeon synth and dark ambient albums. However, it recently released a new record that set a new vision and approach to the music and style. The Hell We Have Chosen is an epitaph for modern life and society, and it is a call for repentance and inner change. The album art was done by Anna "Crimson Soil" Bantle, and it depicted flagellants during the act of penance. This symbolism resembled the main idea of the new album, and it fully illustrated the sound and atmosphere of its songs.
"There's a constant balancing act between this underlying groove and the album's raw aggression, technicality, and depressive atmosphere. Tying it all together are shrill shrieked vocals, unrelenting drum work and varied complex riffage with killer range of tone" - Cave Dweller Music

Chaotic Mysticism from the Tormented Silence
by Nöldrsupported by 4 fans who also own “Strixskog - The Hell We Have Chosen”
Probably my favourite of all Nöldr releases. Chaotic Mysticism from the Tormented Silence (what a mouthful, lol) takes on a slightly rawer stance than its predecessors but crucially without sacrificing any of the atmospheric dungeon synth vibes Nöldr has honed over the years. As always, it's a properly black metal album, even if somewhat unorthodox; but that's what makes it striking.
