Dysterwald's self-titled album is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that transports listeners to a mystical world of dark forests and ethereal creatures. The band's unique blend of folk and metal creates a sound that is both powerful and atmospheric, with each track telling its own story.
From the opening notes of "The Huntress," the listener is drawn in by the haunting vocals of lead singer Anna Murphy and the intricate guitar work of Ivo Henzi. The album's standout track, "The Curse," is a haunting ballad that showcases Murphy's impressive vocal range and the band's ability to create a sense of foreboding with their music.
Other highlights include "The Forest," with its driving rhythm and memorable chorus, and "The Witch," a powerful tribute to the women who were persecuted during the witch hunts of the Middle Ages.
