Swartalf

After releasing their debut album, Candles Burning Blue, in 1996, it was silent around the industrial doomed goths for three years. Their second album, The Golden Section, was an impressive display of ambient electronics combined with a equally ambient touch of droning blackmetal riffing. The incantating songlines and poetic references make this a strange but hypnotizing album. Probably on purpose, the band remains somewhat of a mystery when it comes to members, but it is generally accepted to have members of some more famous blackmetal bands involved.
