Aura Aeternitatis, the remarkable debut album of Austrian/Icelandic atmospheric project V?st?gr, will make a sign this year An album of both external elemental forces and internal turmoil, as I traversed its intricate crystalline pathways the progressive structures and ice cold auras took me completely by surprise. I was in awe of how its gentle, calming breath and opposing raging tempests seemed to somehow achieve a spellbinding harmony. The further I moved through its beautiful and desolate plains, the more I was totally hooked by its vibrations - so much so that instead of merely sharing and/or raving about it to all who would listen I simply had to reach out to shadowed mastermind ? to know more. What follows is the result of our chat, alongside links to each track on the album to accompany you on your journey... so listen, read, experience and immerse; let this impressive debut blow you away.
