The Hallowing of Heirdom

Setting aside their soaring brand of atmospheric black metal, England’s Winterfylleth have recorded an entirely acoustic suite of elegant and haunting songs for their sixth album. Inspired by traditional English folk music and pastoral poetry, bandleader Chris Naughton and his troupe incorporate nylon-string guitars, glockenspiel, and classical instrumentation to create a somber medieval tableau on the lush choral opener “The Shepherd,” the forlorn “Latch to a Grave,” and the gripping, mournful title track.
