We’re joining in the list fever this year – though not before the year is more or less through – with the favourite 2011 records from Evening of Light HQ. Of course we missed tons of good releases out there, but these at least are things we particularly enjoyed. Thanks to all the artists and [...] 
artist: Tenhi release: Saivo format: CD year of release: 2011 label: Prophecy duration: 70:00 detailed info: discogs.com I’m always filled with a slight trepidation when one of my favourite bands is releasing a new album after several years.

artist: Sol Invictus release: The Cruellest Month format: CD year of release: 2011 label: Auerbach duration: 56:50 detailed info: discogs.com It’s been a year or six since the last proper Sol Invictus album, and we’ve had to turn to Tony Wakeford‘s consistent work on various side projects (The Triple Tree, Orchestra Noir, Grey Force Wakeford) [...]

artist: Various Artists release: Whom the Moon a Nightsong Signs format: 2CD year of release: 2010 label: Auerbach/Prophecy duration: 1:44:23 The subgenre of dark acoustic or dark folk keeps fascinating me endlessly.

A teaser for the album has been put online on YouTube recently:

artist: Tenhi release: Väre format: CD, LP year of release: 2002 label: Prophecy duration: 57:39 detailed info: discogs.com Väre was Tenhi‘s second full length album, and one that showed that the band had progressed strongly since Kauan and the airut:ciwi EP.
