The latest EP by the tragic entity, Forelunar, contains two interpretations of the song HWAA by the South Korean girl group (G)I-dle. The song itself is about heartbreak and the subsequent healing and moving on. But with its unique scenery and artistic approach, it can become subject to deeper emotional awakening and that is why I came up with two cover versions of the same song. The first song (火/Fire) is the raging growl inside you when sadness and heartbreak conquer your heart; the second one (花/Flower) is the prevailing anthem of coming to terms and moving on.

As Harpag himself puts it out: “I poured my own emotions into the already touching sound of the original song. It is of course imperfect, but I mean to express my deepest respect to the group and above all, its leader, Soyeon, for she has been a source of inspiration to me and can be an exemplary artist to the younger audience: A woman of talent, hard work and self-confidence.”

May this little journey appeal to your ears, wandering listener.

The earthbound herald of spring has blown his trumpet once again. The time of nature’s rebirth has come. Still, the mystery is ever unravelling. The spring has brought yet another gift of the gods: The amethyst that has grown on the frozen branches of the winter lord’s forsaken body.
Her eyes are spells and her beauty enchants. The violet heart is she, who has penetrated the gateless citadel of his majesty’s soul.

Behold the dream! Behold the Amethyst!

Wanderers and friends of Ardawahisht,

Our Harpag Karnik sat with Ethere Magazine, a journal dedicated solely to the funeral doom genre, and gave an in-depth interview about this very entity that is Urnscent and Ardawahisht Kollective in their very first issue, alongside established names of the genre such as Skepticism, Shape of Despair etc.

You can get your copy through the official website of the publisher, Season of Mist USA and other distributors which you can find on the magazine’s official FB page.

Thank you for your attention and Ethere for their interest in our work.

We will see you soon.

Behold, wanderers!

Désespéré, the gloomier incarnation of the duo Urnscent, has unveiled its latest abomination of sonic torture, “Furor Ab Intus, Caeleste Stragem Desuper”.

It is the final chapter in the first book of Pain and Suffering and will be the progenitor to the second book of Désespéré, which shall come in the darker days ahead.

BEWARE!

Proceed with caution. This album is the culmination of previous albums, meaning that what you will hear on this abomination of sonic torture, is the heaviest and most crushing of all Désespéré albums. If you cannot bear the monotonous extremity of our suffering, do not grasp the whole work at once.

Dear readers and followers,

As each day passes, streaming platforms bend more towards the interests of the dominant powers in the music industry, which is the sole way of surviving the industry’s constantly changing and growing nature. In this process, smaller and underground acts like us would suffer more than the more prominent names, both statistically and economically.
Since music is the main source of living and communication for the members of Ardawahisht, we were naturally forced to reconsider the approach we utilized in releasing music.

We have decided that from now on, our main emphasis will be on our projects’ Bandcamp pages and the collective’s YouTube channel, meaning that every future release will be initially available on these two platforms and they will be available on streaming services a few days later than the original release date.

Thus, we kindly ask you to follow the Bandcamp pages of our projects and more importantly, subscribe to our YouTube channel. You can check all related links through the referencing page below.

Thank you for your time and attention.
