NR 007 ELFFOR - The Crescent Moon Palace CD / Digital
Medieval black metal majesty, featuring soaring anthems of resonant and melodic soundscapes. True to his epic style, ELFFOR delivers dynamic and melodic black metal complemented by haunting orchestral keyboards. However, instead of relying solely on a gradual build-up of intensity, Eöl has chosen a more aggressive approach. His music is sprinkled with breaks and rapid changes in atmosphere, oscillating between furious and symphonic passages, with occasional dissonant keyboards. This creates a maze of emotions that is both foreboding and captivating.

NR 011 ELFFOR - Uhgluk CD / Digital / TS
In parallel to the acclaimed "Pact of Blood" with Aeon Winds, ELFFOR was brewing an offering of darker alchemy.
"Uhgluk" is far beyond a mere album, it's a visceral pilgrimage into primordial depths, where dungeon synth and ambient elements converge in haunting meditation.Eöl's mastery lies not only in conjuring darkness, but also in unearthing the beauty festering within. Brooding synths hang like mist over forgotten graves, harmonies crack like ice under the weight of eons, melodies pierce like whispers from forgotten and long sealed realms, and textures grow so dense they seem to breathe.
