SIGNAL REX is proud to present the striking debut album of the Czech Republic's BRAN, Odcházení, on CD and vinyl LP format. The CD version shall be released on October 31st while the vinyl version will follow later.
One of the most exceptionally accomplished new hordes SIGNAL REX has come across in recent memory, Bohemia's BRAN are a power-trio of ancient black metal might and majesty. To be sure, they exhibit the splendorous, spellbinding riff-sorcery so endemic to their country's black metal idiom, but instead of hypnotizing monochromaticism, BRAN's epic constructions are always unfolding, always blossoming with a strict sense of narrative flow, surprising and engaging at every turn. Indeed, their Odcházení debut is a march across rarefied lands, for not only does it retain palatably clear production, rendering their ruminations in their most powerful state, but there's a pronounced grounding in actual METAL here - but thankfully, without any…...more

No, this is the sound of swords sharpened and chainmail donned, grim resolve as the battle approaches; BRAN see the struggle ahead, and they've created the bloodily majestic / majestically bloody map for it.
Taste their Czech steel with Odcházení!

LYRICS (CZ)
Tisíce hvězd
Tisíce hvězd
na nočním nebi v dáli.
Obrysy kmenů –
– tam kdysi celé lesy stály.
Hnijící kořeny,
půda tvrdá jako kámen.
Jen tkáně v rozkladu
kupí se v hluboké jámě.
Jsou chvíle smutku,
a i radosti – té z nenadání.
Jsou chvíle zmaru,
a i naděje, bez strádání.
To ticho konejší.
...
Tisíci hroby
krajina posetá je.
Zářící měsíc
je oděn v blankytném hávu.
Jsou chvíle smutku,
a i radosti – té z nenadání.
Jsou chvíle zmaru,
a i naděje, bez strádání.
Tak chvíle pomíjí,
je ticho v lesním háji.
Snad hvězdy smilují se
nad ležícími v tomhle kraji.
Je ticho –
– mezi stromy s půdou udusanou.
– to jen hvězdy nikdy nevyhasnou.

Thousands of Stars
Thousands of stars
on the distant nite heavens
The contoures of stumps –
– where once whole forests stoode
Rotting roots
soile hard as stone
Only tissue in decaye
pyleing deepe in the pit
There’r moments of grieff
and joy, but unawares
There’r moments of ruin
and hope, withoute destitution
The silence soothing
…
Beset is the landescape
by thousandes of graves
The shining moon
in azure vestements garbed
There’r moments of grieff
and joy, but unawares
There’r moments of ruin
and hope, withoute destitution
And so the while passes,
quiete in the woodlande grove
Perchance the starres shall be mercifull
o’er those who lie in this lande
Tis’ silent –
– amongst trees and harde–packed soile
– only the stars ne’er shall dimme…...more
