LUNATIC SOUL: new studio album Through Shaded Woods

LUNATIC SOUL TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM THROUGH SHADED WOODS ON KSCOPE ON 13TH NOVEMBER

Enjoy the fan message from Mariusz - see on the right...

On album number seven Mariusz Duda, the multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and mastermind behind Lunatic Soul is extending his musical explorations to include dark Scandinavian and Slavic folk referencing bands like Heilung or Wardruna. Following the heavily electronic sound of previous albums Fractured and Under the Fragmented Sky, Through Shaded Woods is completely devoid of electronics and is the first album in Duda’s discography, on which he plays all instruments.

 

Mariusz found his inspiration for the album from his childhood home, an area of Poland known for its forests and lakes, " I think I have always wanted to create an album steeped in nature and woodlands. These bring to my mind freedom, breathing and a dance ritual of coming back to nature, so I wanted the album to include such ritualistic primal dances, shamanic, Slavic and Viking moods. I wanted to mix it all up and put it all together, making "Through Shaded Woods" the most intense, dynamic and the most danceable album in my career."

 

Mariusz Duda appears to have put the personal darkness that inspired his previous albums behind him, as more optimistic elements shine through in his new music. The album becoming musically "brighter" as it progresses – from the atmospheric introduction of "Navvie" through to the title track, which leads the listener to a melodious, trance like "Oblivion", echoing the style of Dead Can Dance.
