DonisArt reveals two more bands that will take part in Dark Bombastic Evening 3, held at Alba Iulia Citadel, in Romania: Les Discrets and Hexvessel.

Fursy Teyssier is a talented and well known French graphic designer who worked with various bands from the Metal scene and beyond: Agalloch, The Oath, Alcest, Drudkh, Amesoeurs, Woods of Ypres, Lantlôs, Neun Welten, Arctic Plateau… His artistic dimension expanded his interests into other domains as well, such as the animated film “Tir Nan Og” or music, starting with the year 2003. Together with Winterhalter and later on with A. Hadorn, he starts off a new band, Les Discrets. In 2009 he signed a contract with Prophecy Productions and only a few months later, a split CD is released together with Alcest. After a short while, he releases his debut album, “Septembre Et Ses Dernières Pensées”, a beautiful melancholic Metal jewel, filled with atmosphere, romanticism and poetic aura. The album caught everyone by surprise, Fursy refusing however any idea of performing live with Les Discrets. Pour les conaisseurs, last year in March, in Bucharest, Fursy was the bass player of Alcest. It seems that the artist's inspiration is enjoying a remarkable ascending path, as he is now in the recording studio, finishing his second album. The first ever life performance of Les Discrets will take place in June at WGT and, not long after, on the 19th of August, we can meet them in Alba Iulia, where they are coming with a beautiful musical story that intelligently intertwines bits of Acoustic, Shoegaze, Post-Rock and Metal, into a real live formula.

Hexvessel is the work of Mathew “Kvohst” McNerney, the famous voice of the cult Black Metal band Dødheimsgard, but also of the avant-garde band Code. After years of introspection and endless search, Mat makes his debut in February 2011 with ‘’Dawnbearer’’, a spiritual rite of passage, an attempt to re-awaken the inner self and reach enlightenment through the powers of Psychedelic Folk music. Channelling and confronting demons of the past, from a strict Catholic upbringing, to his formative years living in Norwegian Lapland and cutting his teeth singing for Satanic Black Metal bands, ‘’Kvohst’’ is experimenting again. With an installed appreciation of 60′s Canterbury folk from his childhood growing up England, Negro Spiritual Church hymns mix with themes of the occult, Crowleyan magick and Haitian voodoo, McNerney frames with Hexvessel a strange dimension, palpable yet mysterious. Inviting select underground artists to participate on the record, he collaborated with Norwegian dark tango/folk musicians from Krugers Medbragte and Jaime Gomez Arellano from experimental avant-prog bands such as Mothlite and Guapo, who has previously carried out production work on Miasma & the Carousel of Headless Horses and Ulver. The album also features a guest vocal performance by Carl-Michael Eide aka Czral from progressive rock weirdos Virus and original hand-drawn artwork by Finland’s godfather of doom, Albert Witchfinder. This is a personal and intensely dark trip of unusual compositions, using organically recorded instruments such as psaltery, sawblade, harmonium, zither, gongs, harp, mellotron, mandolin and bandoneon. Otherworldly folk, with an uncanny, haunting resonance, Hexvessel is highly recommended to fans of Changes, Wovenhand, Espers and Midlake and Comus.“Kvohst” will show both the fans of Metal, as well as those interested in the experimental dimension, a different kind of musical expression, one that he believes in and one that he is going to present to us on the 20th of August, alongside an extended formula.
