Dagon's been very active recently THORNLAND the newest project with Azrael (Heathen Deity, Ethereal Forest, Hoyland) was formed in the early months of 2012.

THORNLAND is set to Medieval Dark Ritual but also Ambient, Acoustic and Experimentation, the band will work as follows:
Dagon - Vocals, Poetry, Programming
Azrael - Keyboards, Acoustic Guitars, Programming

The band already has a song online that is a cover for "Fire Leap" from the movie "The Wicker Man and "Ancient Trees and Fractured Spines". In the player below you can hear them.

The newest Frostwork album entitled “Lore of Winter –Ealdspell” is ready and soon will be released; according Dagon: The release will be split into three parts; the first part will be based on a concept of folklore I am developing about invoking the season of winter.

The first section will comprise four tracks as part of an introduction to that concept. “On White Carrion Wings” pays homage to the bringer of winter and rebirth.

The music for “Cast From His Wings” is written by Azrael, using an element of the main folklore that I described to him in the beginning. This track to me is one of the most memorable acoustic songs ive heard in a long time, a truly inspiring piece. He matched my vision perfectly.

The second part concentrates more on the bleak anguish, magic and mysticism as far as I regard to be the essence of winter. “Frozen Veins Shed No Blood” is song about dying alone in the forest, the process of death and the woods reclaiming the corpse and spirit.

“The Essence of Darkest Winter” is a spirit wraith, a demonic apparition that dwells deep within the woods during the winter months.

And the third part is a concept I’ve adapted from one of my favourite films “The Company of Wolves”. The two songs in this section are about lycanthropy and are both based on the she wolf.

All the sections of the CD and the concepts will have its own place and continuation within the lore of winter, and further development within FROSTWORKs future.
