"Aes Grave" is the follow-up to the majestic "Deflorescens Iam Robur" album by FURVUS from 1999 (which still is considered by critics and listeners as one of the cornerstones of the Neo-Classical music). „What the time doesn't erase, is strengthened in the memory: the memory of loved ones, of lost faith and the blood shed which is now outlined through this journey inside the music and moral heritage of the past, going beyond the Pillars of Hercules of any religious or political belief. From theophany to solipsism, the wayfarer's catharsis takes shape across the project's sound textures, epic and introspective as yesterday, but today also tinged with shades ranging from conviviality to more majestic chorality. All made with a balanced use of computer (each vocal part and acoustic instrument is sung / played by the musician) on a substrate of Concrete processing. A sound katabasis down to the hell of one's emotional intelligence with an obol perhaps too expensive to be paid ..." (FURVUS,2017).

Press Quotes

'... The versatile sound is somewhere between pagan and medieval sounds - including even rough trips to Neofolk and increasingly to bombastic, cinematic Sceneries with dramatic choirs ... The production sounds rough-earthy organic... In the end, 'Aes Grave' is like a soundtrack to a dark medieval film in the clerical milieu. .. As a comparison, especially for the more bombastic parts, project names such as OMNE DATUM OPTIMUM or even the early GAE BOLG respectively SEVEN PINES could fall.. A piece like 'Mon In The Mone', on the other hand, is more reminiscent of a mixture of CHANGES and South-Eastern European Neofolk. In the middle of the poles there is perhaps a piece like 'Melopoeia Pestilentiae, Caudata Domina Nostra', which begins at first gloomyly conjuring, and later emanates a sacred, liturgical character ... With 'Aes Grave' FURVUS succeeds with his convincing return and a perfect musical connection to his earlier album.
