About This Item
Vrimuot from the fabled Teutoburg Forest, Germany, infuses fresh blood into the time-honored body of neofolk. This is made clear - resoundingly so - by InchO Tempora, O Mores!Inch (Cicero InchOh the times! Oh the customs!Inch), the project's first album. Vrîmuot (Middle High German for InchcandourInch) was founded by composer, multi-instrumentalist and singer T.S.. While staying true to the genre's core aesthetics and stylings, his music rather equals a reinforcement and update of old neofolk values, created the DIY-way without any digital tools and unfolding in unusually long, intense narratives of crafty complexity. Describing his venture as InchMythopoeic DarkfolkInch, T.S. wields his metaphorical heft to cathartic effect, conveying a positive message. InchIt is only through self-reflection that we transcend mundane existence, lighting a flame that strengthens and warms us. A flame of hope. An eternal flame.Inch InchO Tempora, O Mores!Inch is Incha polemic put to songInch, he elaborates, Inchbased on personal experience of loss and recapture but also relatable to modernity and it's inherent ills.Inch Above all though, his intent is to evoke feelings in the spirit of the Romantics, escaping the present InchsamsaraInch to seek enlightenment, Inchthe higher aim our natural being is striving for.Inch Likewise, the artwork of InchO Tempora, O Mores!Inch is centered around 19th century sculptor Gotthard Sonnenfeld's statue InchBesiegtInch (InchvanquishedInch), with medieval woodcuts and runes representing each tune and it's InchriddleInch... InchO Tempora, O Mores!Inch was mastered by Markus Stock (Empyrium) and is available as 2CD hardcover book edition (18x18cm, 36 pages with rich artwork and a 18-minutes bonus CD with two exclusive songs) and LP.
