Formed in 2002 VALFEANOR’s lineup comprises Cardinalis Desderoth (HELLSAW) on vocals, bass and keyboards, Isiul (HELLSAW) on guitars and The Unknown on drums. The band’s first release “En Ny Tid”, which appeared in 2007, was rooted in fantasy themes and took a melodic musical path whilst 2009’s follow up “Noreia” began the change in direction that would lead Desderoth down a much different musical and conceptual route which he develops further in “The Eerie Constellation”.

Commenting on the new album, Desderoth had this to say: “I have worked much harder on this album than either of the others, mainly because musically I wanted to take it in a much more complex direction. Like many musicians who have played in relatively well-known bands I find it very irritating that certain critics always have to judge one band against the other. I get pretty tired of having VALFEANOR’s music compared to HELLSAW’s, as the two could not be more different, either in musical style or subject matter. I can use between 8 and 20 riffs in one song, so the two bands really don’t warrant any comparison. Essentially all three of VALFEANOR’s albums deal with our awareness and perception of things around us. “En Ny Tid” was about the fantasy world that exists on the fringes of our day to day reality, and “Noreia” concentrated on the realities of life, which, despite the negative aspects, could also be fulfilling. “The Eerie Constellation” takes it one step further in an exploration of both the dark things that surround us and the myriad things that are all around us, such as the constellations, and whose beauty we rarely glance at but into which we can escape if we choose to. It is most definitely not an album that dwells on the negative aspects of our existence”.

VALFEANOR will appear at the Eine in Teich Festival, Neugarten Almseehütte, Gerlitzen, Kärnten, Austria on the 12 July 2013. More information about the band can be found on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/valfeanorofficial

VALFEANOR - En ny Tid

Patricia Thomas just uploaded a new public track called VALFEANOR - En ny Tid, you can heard it below! 

  VALFEANOR - En ny Tid by PATRICIA THOMAS

Founded by DESDEROTH in 2002 in Styria, Austria, VALFEANOR originally started life in as MORTAR, a band that concentrated on playing either black/thrash, and releasing the “S.O.B.M.” demo in 2002, and death/thrash – releasing a 5-track demo in 2004. Whilst it may sound slightly schizophrenic to jump between genres, the real intention was to give multi-instrumentalist DESDEROTH a feel for what he really wanted to concentrate on, and to experiment with various sounds and writing styles.

By the time 2005 came around, DESDEROTH had decided that his true interest lay in the direction of Black Metal; with the use of keyboards do express subtle emotions within the music. Work began on “En Ny Tid”, an album that was as much a tribute to the kind of music that Desderoth liked to listen to himself when he was younger, as it was his original take on those genres. “En Ny Tid” would be released on Switzerland’s Black Tower Productions in 2007.

That same year DESDEROTH joined Austrian Black Metallers HELLSAW on bass, as a live session member. Does playing with HELLSAW affect how he thinks of VALFEANOR? According to DESDEROTH, it allows him to play a different form of Black Metal, and all goes to round out his experience and knowledge, that he can then apply to VALFEANOR.

DESDEROTH himself, and VALFEANOR, are managed by Patricia Thomas, the UK-based band manager who works with legendary Black Metal artists such as MANIAC, NATTEFROST, VRANGSINN and bands such as CARPATHIAN FOREST, SHINING, VULTURE INDUSTRIES, SLAGMAUR and HELLSAW to mention but a few.

VALFEANOR’s sophomore album “Noreia” is due for release on Black Tower Productions in 2009.

And as to the question that everyone asks - What do the names DESDEROTH and VALFEANOR actually mean, and where do they come from? Let’s just say that they were created by DESDEROTH’s imagination, and only he truly knows what they mean.
