Antzinako Oihartzunak by Iluntze

Coming out from the old Kingdom of Navarre, Iluntze is a project founded over two years ago by Synder as one-man band, with its roots tracing back to the history, legends and ancestral culture of the ancient Vascones (the former people of the Basque Country), transmitting their traditions into a remarkable pagan black metal with clear medieval touches.

A few months after its founding, Synder records a first 5-songs demo simply entitled “Iluntze” (Dusk), gaining the attention of the most underground scene although it was hardly spread, and being reissued in early 2017, in a short-run edition, by a well-known Ukrainian label on tape format, which was totally sold-out in a just a few weeks.

Shortly after that, he starts the composition of his second demo, “Antzinako Oihartzunak” (Echoes from the Past), an amazing work formed by five amazing tracks playing pagan black metal with folk and medieval touches, a kind of blending between the Basque sound with bands like Sentimen Beltza, Ostots or Nakkiga and the mythic albums by Isengard, Wongraven or Burzum, but with a really personal and different touch...

Released by Dawn of Murk as a unique edition limited to 66 hand-numbered copies only, it comes packaged in a luxury 4-panel oversized digifile pressed on exclusive textured paper and includes a kind of printed “paperbag” to protect the CD, which comes on shining black polycarbonate...
