Seelengeleiter by engelsstaub

Anderswelt opens its doors again!

With ‘Seelengeleiter’, Engelsstaub once again demonstrate their ability to weave emotional and spiritual themes into a haunting soundscape of dark wave, neofolk and neoclassical elements. The dense, melancholic atmosphere is enriched in a unique way by the touching guest vocals, especially by Clara Sorace and her picturesque spoken language, and hypnotically casts a spell over the listener. 
In addition to powerful percussion, acoustic guitars and orchestral elements, a children's choir, broad soundscapes and exotic flutes are also part of the instruments.

Lyrically, Engelsstaub float in surreal realms with poetic references to Baudelaire.
The track ‘Wyspa Umarłych’ captures the famous painting ‘The Isle of the Dead’ in sound and text, while ‘Lament Rusałki’ is inspired by Slavic folklore.

The impressive cover, ‘Die Seelen am Archeron’ (1898) by Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl, a classic of black romantic painting, perfectly reflects the profound and captivating mood of the album.

The LP comes in a heavy chromo cardboard cover with inside-out printing and a full-colour insert with all lyrics and further information.
