Sinfjötli Another masterpiece. 10/10. It requires true conviction to create art this good.

DuhmMeddl Even though WOTTR did a great release, this one is my favorite this year. The whole thing takes me far away when I am at work and brings me close to myself when I am outdoors. Much appreciated. Favorite track: First Light.

Deev Everyone has some kind of music or sound they associate with certain places, and Alda does just that with Washington. Their music feels like home. I got shivers hearing the Swainson's Thrush at the end of A Distant Fire, because that's the sound of the woods I've known since childhood. It's old, green, moss-covered magic, and they've captured it.

Stonebreaker the surface is broken in labored strikes by shaking hands stones are split and roots are burned power is sought in emptiness rending life to build a throne for worms coiled within us terror breaks the skull and blades shall pierce the mind banners are raised and weapons are forged in greed and hate, numbness and faith as generations circle the sinkholes of time throne by throne crumbles to nothing stone by stone does this edifice rise to sunder the earth and black out the sky we grasp upwards, sinking faster bone by bone dust for the brick and blood for the mortar bound to towers that rise and stand in witness as the world dies

about

ALDA Eatonville, Washington

Born within the thick forests of the US's Pacific Northwest, Alda has spent years cultivating their sound of dense, suffocating banks of black metal fog and moody folk riffs.

Since their inception in 2007, this 4 piece has been dedicated to a lifestyle founded on respect and communication with the soil on which they dwell.
