Elderwind reigns from Yekaterinburg, Russia fronted by Persy who is considered the writer and man behind most the work, however band members Andrey and Alexander have a good deal of involvement as well. It took about 3 years of preparation before their first release "The Magic of Nature" and is considered Elderwind's debut and only full length at this time. If your fans of Caladan Brood, Coldworld, Lustre, and Summoning you'll definitely enjoy this gem.
The structure of the music is very steady from start to finish and often tends towards repetition in a few tracks however its a perfect blueprint for their direction and goal. The drums are programmed and practically buried by the harsh thick tremolo of the guitars. The guitar melodies are very simple and can be described as melancholic yet cheerful. The synth and piano create an immersive texture that will indulge the listener into a relaxed state carrying them to a land of majestic nature untouched by human corruption. An almost mystical enchanted feeling of being surrounded by nothing but nature and the sounds of the forest. Overall the title is exactly what is described and I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I did!
