Third full-length álbum by this solo project of Schnee, one that has steadily grown to become amongst some of the best Black Metal acts in Austria in recent years, which is saying a lot. After a brilliant demo in 2020, followed by "Gurre" in 2022 and "Blutroter Mond" last year, Ara is back with its form of ancient despondent Black Metal mystique.
A record of emotional collapse and ancient magic, Ara again mixes elements of old school 90s scene, with experiments in more hypnotic, mantra-like passages, synths and Post-Punk elements, not too unlike their compatriots in Kringa, crafting again a record eeped in Alpine enchantment and haunting folklore.
