Serpent Ascending - Ananku - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

FORTIÐ the InchWorld SerpentInch! With this dark and deadly duology, mastermind Einar Eldur Thorberg delivers an album of two parts The first five tracks were recorded with the former Norwegian line-up. The other songs are a creation of the multi-instrumentalist after changing his residence back to Iceland and enlisting the support of drummer Kristján Einar Guðmundsson (KONTINUUM) with whom he had previously collaborated in the native cult act POTENTIAM. InchWorld SerpentInch is loosely based on a unifying apocalyptic theme, but also a beast of two faces. The first half witnesses FORTIÐ subtly experimenting with influences of Bay Area Thrash, while the second half returns to a more black metal approach with screams and clean vocals. Although both parts have diverging musical visions and even different line-ups, they complement each other rather than constitute two separate entities. Despite some subtle experimentation and drastic line-up changes, FORTIÐ are still following the course that Einar Eldur set on the InchVöluspáInch-trilogy of albums from 2003 to 2010 as well as the acclaimed InchPagan PropheciesInch (2012) and Inch9Inch (2015) full-lengths harsh black and death metal riffing with a penchant for epic melodies combined with versatile vocals and a dose of InchIcelandic soundInch. With InchWorld SerpentInch, FORTIÐ have unleashed a dark and deadly creature onto the pagan metal world! InchWorld SerpentInch is available as Digipak CD and on Gatefold 2LP vinyl (black, ltd. Transparent Curacao blue).
