Release date set for WOLD's "Stratification"
April 17 2008 at 07:51:46 AM ![]() The new WOLD album, Stratification will be released June 24, 2008 according to an update posted on the Profound Lore Records blog. According to the band: “The creation of Stratification was not only about generating waves and strange sounds. Music inspired by winter or music that tells winter tales in general also played as a huge influence; such as Winterreise by Franz Schubert among many others. Also later stuff like R. Strauss's use of high soprano vocals, especially Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and even some Polish shit like Lutoslawski's Twenty Carols. I was also inspired by the sickness of Romantic music and the ideal of an eternal feminine spirit. Stratification is nihilistic with its escape into harsh whiteouts and its procession of graceful crystal-like airy sounds.” A sample mp3 off the new album, titled "Frost Crystal Symmetry" is available here.
