Anterbila - Anterbila (CD)

ÄNTERBILA's self-titled debut album is a conceptual homage to the struggles of the 18th to 20th-century peasantry in their home country of Sweden. The anguish and fury of the downtrodden are embedded in every fibre of a musical score ranging from - and transcending - what would traditionally be categorised as black and folk metal.

Lurking amidst the metallic darkness are passages featuring violin, acoustic guitar, and traditional arrangements. This formula has produced a collection of songs deeply imbued with that wistful, sinister, and folkloric feeling present in various Nordic masterpieces by the likes of STORM, ISENGARD, TAAKE, PANPHAGE, and ARCKANUM.
