NEWS: Chronicler of Ardul harbour dark ambitions…
A tale of ambition, forbidden magic and bloodshed will be told when EP “Sword of Virné” appears from the dark fantasy Symphonic Death Metal realms of Chronicler of Ardul 16th August. Blending ethereal orchestration, thundering metal instrumentation and raw anguished harsh vocals single ‘Durmad, The Ambitious‘ provides the first glimpse into the darkness following last years debut “Myrewood” and be warned. Sonically the band draws from the likes of Shadow of Intent and Mental Cruelty in the metal world, while also taking inspiration from Japanese composer Nobuo Uematsu.
Mastermind David Williams comments on the narrative behind the new single: “A man named Durmad is frustrated with his magical education and wants to explore more of what is possible. He experiments, then searches for forbidden tomes of ancient magic, and comes up with a plot to use it, luring kingdoms and empires with the promise of riches to be found on a barren island.”
