about

With this new album we find the band giving birth to its most solid & devastating record so far. Taking distance with their previous love for long instrumental parts and reveling a major propensity to let distortion talk, the band explores a whole bunch of new directions through a more extreme riffing and a sense of melody unseen so far, all of this brilliantly displayed in savage songs.
Still focused on high quality writing, KEHLVIN knows how to develop intriguing melodies without losing any dynamic. Powerful but sensible, THE ORCHARD OF FORKING PATHS is nothing less than a mind blowing new step in the band carrier, taking sludgin’prog-hardcore to the next level of beauty and intensity.

With THE ORCHARD OF FORKING PATHS, we find the band diving ways further in its own personal musical approach and thus developing unexpected schemes which give birth to an original vision of how heavy music should sound. ... more

Album that is mostly stripped of the heaviness to bring you a laid-back, melodic approach to post-metal. I absolutely love the string opera that is created here. The subtle side of Rosetta is probably the best side. FLESH MECHANIC

I already own a physical copy of this. But I had to buy it again because this is honestly one of my favorite black metal albums to come out within the last decade. and if I'm being really honest, it's one of my favorites of all time. it's magical, melodic, and very emotional. a gorgeous work of art. <3 Ell Bee
