Ave, Let me introduce the band DARKENHÖLD, they have released a first opus « A Passage To The Towers » at the beginning of this year under Ancestrale Production (http://ancestraleproduction.free.fr/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=290&language=en&osCsid=1ae26897bb04823513e9c13326889c6b), inspired by Middle Ages and ancient tales, they expect to pleased the amateurs of old stones. The opus goes through ten chapters establishing a manifesto of certain art forgotten in Black-Metal loan of melodious darkness and by dreamlike atmospheres. The opus is realized in the caves of studios Drudenhaus and Cox in Hell, whereas the artwork was chiselled in the workshop of Metalex.

Aldébaran : Guitars, Bass, Keyboards & Choirs Cervantes : Lyrics & Vocals Aboth : Drums & Percussions Aleevok : Live Bass Anthony : Live Guitar Some reviews : - Forbidden Magazine : "With A Passage To The Towers, French trio Darkenhold have constructed an unyielding black metal monster, forging their own blade of devastation. Blazing with both melody and chaotic sensibilities, the record is a victorious testament to the band’s ability and a sign of where they are headed…straight to the towers!!" - Metal Archives (85%) : « It’s a gréât pleasure to listen through and I do hope there’s not enough backlash against such a strain as this that i twill be ignored. Autothrall » - Selection in La Horde noire webzine - Season Of Mist : "Et si la relève d'EMPEROR était française ? C'est ce que laisse penser DARKENHÖLD qui, avec cet album, nous transporte littéralement 15 ans en arrière, à l'époque ou le Black Metal Atmosphérique était au sommet... Un véritable voyage, des ambiances magiques, une réalisation impeccable, un son aux petits oignons, un concept original, DARKENHÖLD est ce qui se fait de mieux en terme de BM un poil rétro certes mais foutrement percutant. BUY OR DIE ! Black Mass" - Thrashocore (9/10) : "Car ce nouveau groupe français vient de sortir un album de cette trempe-là, un album intemporel, qui ne prendra pas une ride avec le temps et sera toujours aussi excellent dans dix ou quinze ans, quand la mode sera au black metal disco ou au black metal tecktonik. A Passage To The Towers est donc sans problème mon album de black metal de l'année en ces temps où la concurrence se fait rare, mais il est bien plus que ça, il est le black metal tel qu'il fût, mais surtout le black metal tel qu'il aurait du rester : inventif, riche et intelligent.
