Welkin () - Emblems of Valour (full album, 2023)

Here’s the second full length album from Singaporean band Welkin, with a new cassette edition through Under the Dark Soil, following the CD and vinyl release from Pest earlier this year. Sole member Hasthur carves out stirring melodic atmospheric black metal with a grand steely sense of victorious metal running all the way through it. As the title implies, this is a valorous deed of an album, epic in scale and scope, with a raw thrashiness to parts, keening solos, and rousing howls, rushing forward with a heroic momentum. Backing vocals on Fires of Rebellion and Emblems of Valour are provided by Schtarch of Holyarrow Cassettes are available from Under the Dark Soil: CD and Vinyl from Pest Productions: Digital and CD copies available from Welkin: Band: Welkin (皇天) Album: Emblems of Valour Year: 2023 Label: Under the Dark Soil / Pest Productions Country: Singapore Genre: Black Metal Transmissions links: Album: Tracklist: 1. 立功 / Fires of Rebellion 00:00 2. 飛將 / The Flying General 08:33 3. 赤壁 / 208 Battle of Red Cliffs 19:28 4. 武勇 / Emblems of Valour 30:21 More about the artist here: - Welkin - Bandcamp: Instagram: Facebook: YouTube: Metal Archives: - Under the Dark Soil - Web: Bandcamp: Facebook: Instagram: Metal Archives: - Pest - Web: Bandcamp: Instagram: Facebook: Metal Archives: Uploaded on behalf of Under the Dark Soil, with thanks. - Transmissions links - LinkTree: Instagram Facebook Page: Twitter #EpicBlackMetal #UndertheDarkSoil #SingaporeanBlackMetal
