Hailing from Reykjavik, Kontinuum are about to release their second album, Kyrr, through Candlelight Records on April 20, and after the stark, genre-hopping splendour of their debut Earth Blood Magic, the follow-up brings in new layers of lush yearning, twilit rites and slow-burning, libidinous reveries that would give Ville Valo a run for his money, all wrapped in the kind of vast, hallowed atmospheres only their home country could give rise to.
We have a special preview in the form of a lyric video to the track Breathe, no doubt titled as a reminder to do so as you melt into the icebound landscapes, wolf guides to the wilderness and a rapt melody so memorably tantalising you’d probably need an exorcist to get it out of your system.
