!PLEASE READ - IMPORTANT! Artist: Winterforst Album: From The Forests Of Alamannia Country: Switzerland Genre: Metal Year: 2015 (Written and recorded from May – October 2015) Tracklist: 00:00 Ancient Spell 02:14 Glorious Age Of Heathenpride 10:35 Wīgiþunaraz 18:50 Riders From The Darkforest 26:42 Iron Will 31:10 Alamannia 35:21 Im finst’ren Forst 42:06 Summernight 46:47 Guggisbärglied (Traditional Alamannic Folk Song) The screams of the witcher summon the untamed power of the runes on a warm and sunny day in the forests of southern Germania, referred to as Alamannia, where the blood of heroes once was shed, where swords clashed in the echoes of forgotten centuries, where endless loves began underneath the green and vital branches of the mighty trees, where the horns did call for battle and where the pouring rain is welcomed by the thirsty soil. Praising a glorious forgotten age, the iron will of a warrior and the immortal beauty of nature, this album takes you on a journey through the forests of Alamannia… This is my second full-length album, and also my first one to include a range of various genres within metal, and not solely Black Metal. Fortunately, I am mature enough to not discuss or even think about the genre of my own music. Over the last year, my life has changed like never before in many aspects, and I have gained clarity. I created this album because I put most of my free time into music and writing nowadays, and even though I do not think the album is better than „Schwarzmetallwinter“, I am glad I created it. The main topic is the nature, culture and life in Alamannia, an ancient name for southern Germany and the German speaking part of Switzerland. That’s also why I covered the oldest still existing Swiss folk song, known as the Guggisbärglied. I am not a Nationalist. „Wīgiþunaraz“ is an early alamannic name for Thor which appears in an inscription on the Nordendorf I fibula dating back to the 6th/7th century. There is not much to say about the other songs, expect that I composed all the music and wrote all the lyrics myself, like always. Also, I do not promote any political ideologies or make any financial profit off my music. The cover picture was taken by myself in a forest about 30 km north from where I live, in August 2015. Heathenpride from Alamannia!
