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 goofy party posturing or "metal brotherhood" bollocks. 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! ✠ BRAN | BLACK METAL | CZECH REPUBLIC ✠ ✠ Signed under SIGNAL REX – https://signalrex.com/ ✠ e-mail: bran@bran.band ✠ BC: BRAN https://bran-bohemia.bandcamp.com/ ✠ FB: BRAN |   / bran.bohemia   ✠ IG: BRAN |   / bran_band   BRAN is:

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. --- EN: 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
