In 2018, the Dutch combo unleash their 4th studio album "Idisi", named after a divine female being in Germanic mythology. A tree with deep roots, inspired by lore and legacy. An album that makes you travel in time but also and more than ever before across the world! Still deeply rooted in Germanic and Franconian ancestry, this new opus launches an eastwards exploration into new lyrical and musical territories, rich with sounds and languages from the Old World. From the opening track 'Eiris sâzun idisi', with its powerful First Merseburg Incantation (Old High German, 9th/10th century) giving the song a great rhythmical drive. All the way up to the album's closing hymn 'Ghaselen des Dschelal-eddin Rumi', with its mystique atmosphere set by the 1819 German translation of works by the 13th-century Persian poet Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (1207-1273), this new "Idisi" album reveals a band who took the luxury of giving time to time... It actually took them some 4 years to complete it, besides the splendid intermezzo collaboration release with SAELDES SANC on last year's "Wildes Herz" split-album. They took the time to truly connect to each other and the material and concept they were working on: studying the language, life and customs of their ancestors gave the SCHWARZBLUT members valuable insights in their own habits, beliefs and traditions. And by putting all this into music, the band once again hands out a more than valuable testimony. The new SCHWARZBLUT album also gets released as a limited 2CD box edition with an 8-track bonus disc offering 3 bonus remixes and above all a series of 5 exclusive 'meditation' soundtracks made of environmental recordings, audio experiments and vocal intensity carrying the listener inside the Hagia Sophia, at a western European harbor or yet in a morning forest...
