Lunatic Soul announce new album ‘Through Shaded Woods’
LUNATIC SOUL have announced a new album!
Titled Through Shaded Woods, the upcoming album from the solo studio music project of creator, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Mariusz Duda of RIVERSIDE. The album is scheduled to be released in November via Kscope.
On album number seven Duda extends his musical explorations to include dark Scandinavian and Slavic folk referencing bands like HEILUNG or WARDRUNA. Following the heavily electronic sound of previous albums Fractured and Under the Fragmented Sky, Through Shaded Woods is completely devoid of electronics and is the first album in Duda’s discography, on which he plays all instruments. The concept has been described by Duda as the “[Through] Shaded Woods being our worst traumas and nightmares. Going through these woods symbolises facing them. It’s a test of courage. Musically, we’re going on a journey inspired by dark Scandinavian and Slavic folk.”
Mariusz found his inspiration for the album from his childhood home, an area of Poland known for its forests and lakes, “I think I have always wanted to create an album steeped in nature and woodlands. These bring to my mind freedom, breathing and a dance ritual of coming back to nature, so I wanted the album to include such ritualistic primal dances, shamanic, Slavic and Viking moods. I wanted to mix it all up and put it all together, making Through Shaded Woods the most intense, dynamic and the most danceable album in my career.”
