We are proud to announce that we are currently working on our first full-length release, The Bells Before Dawn, which will be born as a limited 12" record on the vinyl label DAIS (their page is linked below). Details will be posted as the release progresses. I feel that the ritual and tradition involved with the vinyl medium is ideal for the birth of our first volume. The album will include some familiar songs reworked as well as new unheard tracks.
The limited CD-R produced for the performance with Luftwaffe, Valence and Hour of the Wolf has sold out. We hope to have some new recordings available soon.
The tracklisting for the disc is as follows:
FUThARK
Little Edelweiss
Unter den Linden
The Cairn at the Crossing
Woden Within
Dream of an Omen
We've had shirts printed as well in Male and Female sizes. This run was limited to 200 and hand numbered upon each tag. The sizes available are:
Male - M, L, XL
Female - L
Prices are as follows:
Shirts - $15 plus shipping and handling
Note:
We still have a good number of shirts. Please contact to inquire about sizes.
Payment is accepted via Paypal. Please contact for further information.
Spiralling cinders of the soul from the ether since the Fall of 2003. Awen is a vehicle for the visions and intonations of Erin Powell with the chief assistance and musicianship of Eric Kristopher of the Industrial electronic project unitcode:machine.
The music of Awen is inspired by a feeling of communion with ancestral entities and archetypal imagery. Awen is an old Brythonic word for inspiration and the music itself reflects the Celtic and Nordic lineage of the members and their inspiration therefrom. The sound is a communication with and from the dead that live on in our very bodies via DNA. The bonds of blood are never broken. You are your ancestor. This blood mysticism is the crux of the work. In order to represent this ideology we have chosen to describe the project's sound as Ancestral Ambient.
We have recently created a second page in order to share more of our music. The music there is perhaps in a slightly different vein.
