The epitome of martial music. Alzbeth did an amazing job at creating historically accurate (albeit full of symbolism) lyrics and imagery (due to her specialization) and her vocals - cold, otherworldly - are amazing for their formula. Many bands exploit the history and style of medieval Europe (especially folk and neofolk projects) but only The Moon Lay Hidden recreated the aesthetic to its full potential. I long lost the hope of her making music again (given Albin had an awesome run with his solo outfit) but we still have a flawless discography and several concert bootlegs to enjoy.

Ah man, has anyone heard their new track Untitled? It's an absolute banger, I like it more than Untitled but not as much as Untitled.

"Were you from silver" is my favourite of their's. I do enjoy randoms songs from different albums, but all in all it is boring to listen to albums with 30+ songs done in the same vein. Were you of silver is the most solid one and I like the occassional usage of serbian/bosnian/croatian/montenegrian language in this one. However Antje of silver leaves me a bit in doubt...they kept this one on the album, but changed the lyrics to the last song to make it polically correct.

а есть ли где-то целиком оригинальная версия этой народной песни именно в этом исполнении?

I came across the lyrics book on a blog. It's out of print, so you won't find it anywhere else. https://hel1ch.blogspot.com/2014/01/alzbeth-moon-lay-hidden-beneath-cloud.html

У меня вообще была идея переименовать все песни самому, например: The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud - калина, чорнявая дiвчина

The tracks are untitled because you're meant to listen to the album in full, not skip to your favourite "song".

Every time I revisit them, I always smirk at how little all the 'related artists' live up to their standard. All the usual descriptors (neofolk, dark ambient, and especially anything with the word 'industrial' in it) totally fail to capture what's truly going on here, it's truly ineffable. Even calling it medieval, which seems most accurate, reminds me too much of effete revisionist renaissance faire or fairy festival tripe, not to mention how it limits the scope of history they were trying to capture.

To call such epic compositions "Untitled"... stupid decision anyway. We need simple identification. I mean not mythical acoustic ID, but track by number of position. But now we can change the "name" and edit tags by year with roman numerals.

Agreed. XIV from A New Soldier Follows The Path Of A New King is amazing and deserves an actual name

If you can track down a copy of Alzbeth's book of lyrics, its extraordinarily illuminating as to the deeper meanings of all the tracks, despite the lack of titles. There's a PDF of it floating around filesharing, but don't tell Alzbeth, she despises that sort of thing xD

Already have it. Still waiting for her solo album. A long ago she promised some Coil-oriented stuff.

Seen them live in Waregem - years ago (internet tells me it was 1997). I think In Slaughter Natives, Mortiis and Arcana were on the same bill, but my memorie is fading. To be honest, I didn't like the gig a lot at the time. It was rather static. Strange as I'm still listening to them frequently. Still looking for the Amara Tanta Tyri cd for a reasonable price :D. I have to scrobble it from youtube... Terrible! :D.

Music for the night only :) The unapproachable duo. But how I dislike constant tags Untitled and untitled and untitled and untitled... Sometimes it's too uncomfortable.

I can't speak for Albin Julius but IIRC Alzbeth is an atheist. Their politics are still shit, though.

it's a pity that they are supporters of the disgusting fascist movement ''iron guard'' and its leader :/
