Glad to finally share new music with y'all folks! and Tagrest goes full acoustic in this single and our upcoming EP, the continuation of 2022's Epitome I.. "Epitome II -Sacred Tombs and Dynasties of Sand" , which will include Woodwalkers II and two other songs.
As the title suggests, Epitome II marries 2 ideas, the first concept is presented here in an extended way with the inclusion of an interlude connecting the song with a jam-like rendition of Kaiku, a song by one of our many music heroes "Moonsorrow". A call of the mountains that some of us feel in this day and age, a life more in tune with nature and away from conformity, corporate slavery..
These recordings were done on limited equipment we own, channeled and produced on a 11 years old Asus laptop. Epitome II will be released next month so see you soon! The bandcamp purchase includes a bonus alternative version of Woodwalkers II
We hail your support!
