PRE-ORDER ALREADY OPENED!
“Overwhelming second full-length studio album by Asciimov, the most masked and hermetic project of the brilliant musical shapeshifter NHT (As Light Dies, Garth Arum, Deemtee…), an vast musical epopee composed as the soundtrack for the acclaimed dark fantasy first-person retro-shooter “Hands of Necromancy II”…
In this renewed and mighty transfiguration of Asciimov, NHT invites us to follow the adventures of the necromancers Acheron and Phaedra through over 70 minutes of deeply personal neofolk, rich with the fantastical and medieval dark dungeon atmosphere and an impressive orchestral cinematic score, in one way it’s as if the dark folk of Heilung, Faun or Wardruna were fused with the compositions of Basil Poledouris for “Conan the Barbarian”, Howard Shore for “The Lord of the Rings” or Hans Zimmer for “Gladiator”, a true epic masterpiece that will captivate, not only fans of the video game, but also followers of neofolk, dark synth and music inspired by fantasy, role-playing games and sword and sorcery literature…
The “Hands of Necromancy II” soundtrack is presented as a unique edition, limited to only 66 hand-numbered copies. It comes in a luxurious oversized 4-panel digifile, meticulously handcrafted from heavyweight paper, enhanced with an exclusive soft-touch matte laminate, and accompanied by a printed cardboard sleeve to protect the CD, and it also includes a free digital download card for the album…”
