Woodsmoke, by Nest

Woodsmoke

by Nest

supported by

Blauer Selbstmord A masterpiece of ambient folk, still unrivalled to this day.
Every track on this release is stunningly beautiful, while each melody creates a strong atmosphere.
With some electronic parts (e.g. on Summer Storm), the album is both original and seems inspired by various musical currents (Courting reminds me of Philip Glass' music at times). Favorite track: Summer Storm.

Owen W Relaxing and entrancing. Good music for setting a mood. Nest takes the sound they built over their previous two releases and brings it to a full-album's length wonderfully. Favorite track: By The Healing Waters.

bahuelga Ambient, relaxing, ominous beauty. Favorite track: Otterheart.

Lord Zaltar Otherwordly neofolk. Good on its own or with a good book (I recommend Redwall). Favorite track: Summer Storm.

Dying be the fire that keeps you warm But embers of the heart for the silver one May kindle again... Eat the distance from the place of ill memories Thus I left the homeland. My fate lies elsewhere. ...farewell.

5.	Summer Storm 04:07	lyrics	buy track
An owl's cry echoes through the woods of old in the untamed wilds beasts stir and behold Dark, heavy clouds in horizon's arms tell of a storm a slowly waking tempest in the summer's warmth Rest easy dear friends. The clouds will pass and the sun rise again. Follow the light of the Morn, and know that your way is kept safe. ...now and forevermore...
6.	Calmly Passing Monument 04:52	lyrics	buy track
An old king sits upon an oaken throne. His posture noble, regardless of the toll of times. Now weary, but once a mighty warrior. Strong by form, just by heart. For long he has ruled, But now in an old age his mind wanders back to his youth. He remembers the times of glory, The adventurous days, the passionate nights. He has sailed the myriad seas. Fought the elements at the barren north. Life's misfortunes were just new challenges to experience and to learn from. In his reign there was no blame, nor did he evade his duties. But to rule was never his passion, though a task he had to honour. The memories, although polished by passing time, hold a place in his heart. He has lived a full life, and this he knows. When his chapter ends he can rest free of earthly woes. The old king sits upon an oaken throne. A grin still visible on his weathered face. When they come to carry him away to a rest well-deserved
7.	Renewal 03:51	lyrics	buy track
"...oh, sweet longing, monuments crumbling in the winds of the ages..." The roots may be strong, but morrow yearns for seeds planted in deep seasoned grounds nourished by a gleam of determination grown for sturdy scions and in time new roots for our heirs "...of older times I tell. Not to bring back but to cherish..."

9.	A Winternight Visage 04:50	lyrics	buy track
Light recedes only for a while The sunblade cuts to seek Pure as snow at winter's wake Light harbors at the darkest of seasons Earthbound reflections grant us life. As it is ...as it was given

Corpus Christi

Syven continues with a more introspective release incorporating delicate natural mysticism with ancient Templar mythology. The pantheon of the woodlands fuses with the cathedrals of men. Nest

Spellwind

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 37 fans who also own “Woodsmoke”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
