1476 - Our Season Draws Near (Bonus Tracks) [Limited Edition]

Limited two CD hardcover book edition includes bonus track, illustrations for each song, additional photography, extensive liner notes and several extra texts. 2017 release. New England's 1476 creates isolationist sound stories: musically and attitudinally coming from a punk/DIY background, they arguably absorbed all genres of guitar-heavy and atmospheric music there ever was since-including sub-genres of metal, neofolk, and ambient. Their DIY development has freed it from any and all genre restrictions, allowing the duo to boundlessly delve into conceptual worlds. From their viewpoint, they did not stick to an anarchic attitude, but delved into esotericism, occultism, Nordic mythology, and runology. What does this lead to? Some unparalleled boundless music-energetic, emotional, and always atmospheric with strong conceptual themes outside of the ordinary, often capturing the energy and mood of the old, haunting landscapes of New England's coastal regions. On their third album, the winter-themed Our Season Draws Near, 1476 strips away the dense layers and production from past albums and delivers it's most raw, intimate and urgent record to date. Far more guitar and drum-driven than anything the band has created before, Our Season Draws Near showcases 1476 at both maximum aggressiveness and it's most delicate, using minimalism, space and the power of dynamics to create massive, heavy sound.
