Winterfylleth - A Thousand Winters

There has been much British music here the last few days, melodic and hard indeed, why not continue in the same footsteps, so today we serve you guys with some passionate, anthemic black metal inspired by the history, heritage and landscapes of England.

Winterfylleth is an English black-metal band, formed in 2007 in Manchester. With the intention of honouring England’s proud ancestral heritage and rich national culture, Winterfylleth (comprised of members culled from the UK’s most devastating doom contingent Atavist) set a solidified mission statement to bring awareness to England’s historical stories, folklore, landscapes and ancestral past through their folk-influenced vitriolic black metal.

Coining the term English Heritage Black Metal (EHBM), Winterfylleth (which translates into Winter Full Moon from the Olde English language) represents the first full moon in October as well as the Anglo-Saxon festival of the arrival of winter.

By combining vicious yet moody folk inspired black metal that harkens back to the early days of Enslaved and old-school Ulver, Winterfylleth also conjure feelings and moods that reflect with the likes of acts such as Drudkh, Hate Forest, and Forefather, while at the same time, forging new ground to lead a recent movement in UK black metal.

Lyrically, the band delve into tales of England’s archaic history, re-counting major events, battles, and even draw inspiration from certain sites and scenery that grace the countryside of England and have played an integral part in England’s history.

Winterfylleth have also been hand picked by Primordial to appear at their own personal festival in Dublin Ireland early in February 2013 entitled Redemption Festival. In March 2013, Winterfylleth will be appearing at Hammerfest 5 in the UK.

Winterfylleth are:
Chris Naughton (guitar/vocals), Simon Lucas (drums/backing vocals), Nick Wallwork (bass/backing vocals) & Mark Wood (guitar/backing vocals)

Todays tune "A Thousand Winters" is taken from the 3rd full-length album "The Threnody of Triumph"
