SELVANS Join GORGOROTH’s Blackfest Over Xmas Tour For Several Dates

Having just  completed a series of dates in Italy with Niklas Kvarforth’s Shining, atmospheric black metallers Selvans are set to hit the road again this month, supporting Gorgoroth, Kampfar and Gehenna on selected dates of the Blackfest Over Xmas Tour. The shows at which Selvans will appear are listed below.

December
13 – Baroeg – Rotterdam, Netherlands
14 – Dynamo – Zurick, Switzerland
15 – Backstage – Munich, Germany
17 – Mostovna – Nova Gorica, Slovenia
18 – Rock Klub Nova Chmelnice – Prague, Czech Republic
19 – Prokresja Music Zone – Warsaw, Poland

Silvans’ debut full-length album was released on Avantgarde Music in October. Titled Lupercalia, the album is composed of six tracks, each lasting an average of ten minutes.

Lupercalia was recorded at the Faunalia Studios and in Patrizio Tamborriello’s Soluzioni Audio. The lineup on the album comprises Selvans Haruspex on keyboards, traditional instruments, vocals and programming, and Sethlans Fulguriator on guitars and bass.

The new album continues Selvans’ idea of combining music, lyrics and aesthetics in such a way as to recreate the folklore of Italy’s ancient peoples. As a consequence, the visuals, both in terms of album artwork and live sets, is an important aspect for the band. For Lupercalia, Selvans has once again turned to Diletta of E.B.A. Art, whose first collaboration occurred on the band’s five-track EP Clangores Plenilunio, which was released on Avantgarde Music in February of this year. Diletta’s artwork brings to life the designs of founder and frontman Selvans Haruspex in a much lauded way.

Tracklisting as follows:
 
“Matavitatau”
“Versipellis”
“O Clitumne!”
“Hirpi Sorani”
“Scurtchìn”
“N.A.F.H.”
