about

On its first official edition, Aphlar joint forces with Kazeria (the well known martial-industrial and neoclassical argentinian act), to create a conceptual album.

"In Bolskan" is an epic journey evoking the ancient past of northern Aragón, in the Kingdom of Spain. During a travel to that region, Kazeria conceived the album to express its impressions on archaic traditions and on the great symbolic heritage found there.
Kazeria also found in Aphlar the right partner to reinforce the ideas and visions that they finally put on this record.

The tracks deliver a sophisticated blend of ritual ambient; martial percussions (taken live from the traditional drummers of Huesca; the town once named Bolskan...) and a strong neofolk flavor, due to Aphlar´s guitars and voice. These elements create an evocative and profound atmosphere linked to pre-christian and then later medieval times.

Discipline of The Shadows (re-edition)
by Kazeria

Martial, harsh, disciplined, solemn and dark. Like rising and collapsing ancient towers and future utopias. The sound of the end of an age and the beggining of who knows what. You´ll enjoy it. Aphlar

Light of Baphomet
by Kazeria

Another good one from Kazeria. Great blend of martial, dark ambient, ritual, dark folk and spoken word related to the heterodox beliefs of Knight Templars. For everyone into arcane knowledge. Aphlar
