Hold onto your hats—or your medieval helmets—because Twisted Mist has returned with a spellbinding album, Gehenna, and it’s nothing short of epic!Dropping on October 25th, 2024, via M.U.S.I.C. Records, this French Pagan Folk Metal duo from Reims—Olivier and Nicolas—delivers an auditory masterpiece that fuses ancient history with the thundering power of metal.Founded in 2014, Twisted Mist has been on a relentless mission to carve out their own niche in the metal world.Drawing from legends like Guillaume de Machaut, blending the eerie sounds of modern folk acts like Wardruna, and packing the punch of Eluveitie, Corvus Corax, and even Sepultura, they’ve crafted a sound that’s as haunting as it is heavy.
Think hurdy-gurdies, bouzoukis, and bone flutes paired with crushing guitars and thunderous percussion.Imagine history roaring to life, as though the ghosts of medieval Europe decided to throw the metal gig of the century.
In 2020, after two years of meticulous writing, they unveiled Orbios, a thought-provoking album exploring human existence and legacy.It wasn’t just another record; it was a metal manifesto that had critics raving and fans clamoring for more.Then came 2022’s Lacerare, a visceral concept album chronicling the harrowing story of the Black Death sweeping through Europe.With every note, the band painted an audio canvas of despair, resilience, and history’s darker shades.
This latest album is inspired by none other than Dante Alighieri’s iconic The Divine Comedy.Yep, they’re not playing around.From the opening notes of Gehenna Pt. 1 to the chilling depths of Trahison, the album takes you through Dante’s circles of hell, offering a soundscape as expansive and fiery as the poem itself.Each track is a carefully crafted journey, combining heavy riffs with layered melodies and folk instruments that will transport you to another dimension.The band boldly promises, “Twisted Mist takes you on a journey… Dantesque!”And honestly?They’re not lying.
