Ukrainian Folk Black Metal band WAIDELOTTE present their new song ‚Crimson Waves‘, a sweeping and affecting digital standalone single. Listen via Bandcamp, on DMP’s YouTube channel and all streaming platforms: Waidelotte – Crimson Waves
On ‚Crimson Waves‚ the core of vocalist Andrii (FLOSCULE, ex-WHITE WARD), bassist/main composer Zlat (ex-SOEN), guitarists Bohdan/Mykhailo and drummer Igor (ex-SECTORIAL) use multifarious vocal styles – by turns anthemic, emotive and vicious – powerfully interwoven riffing and an epically dynamic arrangement to juxtapose the agonies of war with recollections of bygone beauty.
The band states: „This song reflects the Russian annexation of Crimea and the looting of historical artifacts, many of which have been illegally removed from the peninsula. The single’s cover art alludes to this narrative quite literally!„
