Shylmagoghnar - Emergence (Full Album) (OFFICIAL)

[@Shylmagoghnar]

A new reprint of the Emergence vinyl has started preorders on the Napalm Records stores today! Last year these sold extremely fast, so grab it while you can. EU store: napalmrecords.com/english/shylmagoghnar-emergence-yellow-red-splatter-lp.html US store: napalmrecordsamerica.com/shymagoghnar-emergance0limited-edition0yellow-red-splatter-vinyl-2lp.html Vinyl of the other albums are also available there. Many thanks to you all for helping me keep this project going. I can't believe it's been a decade since this album came out. I can believe even less that people are still listening to it. You've changed my life for the better \m/

Your creations are timeless and forever 🤘🏼🙏 my most heartfelt gratitude to Shylmagoghnor :'

+Matthew Harlos Sputnikmusic.com is a great music site, it also brought me here. Try it out :)

[@Shylmagoghnar]

+Matthew Harlos Thanks man, it's awesome for us as well! We definitely feel that because of sites like YT or other smart streaming services this is a golden age for bands/projects to release their music on their own. The only limit is one's own mind!

yep i love it and this is how i decide which cd,s to buy.long live the people that keep uploading the music.eternally grateful.

[@Shylmagoghnar]

Hey guys! Since a few of you have been wondering, I wanted to let you know that Shylma is still very much alive and kicking. I've been withdrawn from social media for a while now, but that's just because I tend to go into full recluse mode when working on new stuff. In other words, no news is usually good news. As you probably know by now, we take our time with albums until we feel they are truly radiating the atmosphere we had in mind, so future instalments will be no different. With that said, I'm very eager to keep going with the project! Thank you all once again for making it worth our while. As for our Bandcamp shop: I had to close down the physical side for the time being, due to local/international corona measures making shipping too uncertain (or in the case of some countries, impossible). I'm just a guy selling CDs and T-shirts from my home, so I don't really have the means to be able to ship guaranteed tracked packages for low prices like big companies do. Once this situation passes, I will be back at it again though! I wish you all the best and stay safe, Nimblkorg - Shylmagoghnar

[@ajayyss]

What a coincidence to see this update being 23 hours before posting this comment mate, I was looking forwards for an update from you you guys, just 2 days ago I read the interview on progwereld when I visited the facebook page of Shylmagoghnar, I want you guys to know that what you're doing is appreciated, I'am looking forward to the next album, it feels as if I have lost a decade, which I'm leaving behind, though it took roughly 3 months of the new decade. I want you guys to know that your music has been soothing to me through the last 20+ months since I've discovered you guys, I hope your legacy will be huge. Wie zou hebben gedacht dat een bandje van dit land, mij zou hebben beinvloed in de persoon die ik aan het worden ben :')

[@Shylmagoghnar]

@@ajayyss Wonderful to hear that man, thank you! Working on this project and the reactions to it have changed our lives in positive ways we hadn't foreseen as well and it's so great to know that we aren't the only ones who benefit from it. If that isn't a good reason to keep working on more music, I don't know what is. I hope you will keep doing well and we'll be there to accompany you with boss music ;) Het beste uit het zuiden!

[@Moroi]

Glad to hear that! I just remembered about your amazing band, and decided to listen again to this album - always inspiring for creating some dark art - very cool you guys are still alive and kicking!

[@RebellionZoneMetal]

I was just looking for information from you and decided to listen to the album again, but this time on KZbin, I accidentally read the first comment and was glad to hear from you, a big hug from Chile.

Thanks guys! We've been eager to share this news with you all for a while now, so I'm glad the cat's out of the bag. We're putting as much time as we can now into finishing that second album (and finally releasing the Emergence vinyl, which we've been wanting to do for nearly 3 years now!), so hopefully we'll have some good news in the not too distant future. No worries though - we're taking our time to craft everything exactly the way we want it to be and I'm pleased to say that Napalm fully supports that mentality.

[@Joker-kk6vz]

+Shylmagoghnar about the new album you have any prevision about the date it will be released

[@Shylmagoghnar]

For now we're purposely avoiding to answer that, to not build up hopes and then let then down again if there are delays. So for now I have to be boring and say 'somewhere later this year'. Once things are closer to finished and we have a realistic idea I'll post about it here and on our other sites though :)

Mephestozygote Grix Happy to hear that! Say, didn't you write something about finding the Godhead through music a while ago? I really liked and agreed with that - I feel like the pursuit of music (or any art for that matter) resembles a monk's lifestyle, as in that you aim both your thoughts and your actions towards revering and trying to grasp something which is greater than yourself; but I could never find your comment again so I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to reply! If it wasn't you who wrote that comment... well you'll probably think I have a few screws loose now ;)

I'm a pretty systematic guy so I don't worry about it too much for the future, but I think that on this debut it's pretty clear which facets the two of us had most experience in.

The responses we've been receiving to this project put a stark contrast on how hopeless the situation in which this debut was created seemed. It has truly transformed my life for the better, and I'm sure that my band mate would agree. No words can express my gratitude for that to the people here or anywhere else.

I'll forever associate and be greatful to this album for helping/uplifting me from my depression. First track helped process and release emotions...like a journey, in just 8 minutes...second track gave me strength to move on. Thank you!

[@Shylmagoghnar]

It gives me great relief to hear that, thank you. Those first two songs were written as a form of self therapy for me as well. I wrote them in a time where I got so ill that I had to spontaneously give up on everything I had been working towards at that point, so it was more or less an act of desperation. I'm glad to say that those dark times didn't last forever. My band mate Skirge translated that shift well into words on A New Dawn. I'm glad we're not the only ones who benefited from that rocky journey. All the best to you and take good care of yourself!

Our new album TRANSIENCE is now fully available on our KZbin channel! You can find it HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWPQkpeheMurqaM Many thanks to all of you who have made this possible - words cannot describe how great of an impact it has had on our lives. We hope the new work was worth your wait!

Your video for the album doesnt work

[@Shylmagoghnar]

Are you by any chance in the US? We are currently trying to get that fixed, but it's taking a bit longer than I had anticipated, sorry!

[@Gronnthabomb]

Whats the problem? I'm curious as to why they wont let me see the full album (not just for this album either) but still allow the individual songs.. It's quite annoying

[@Shylmagoghnar]

I agree, it's frustrating as hell. Basically what's happening is this: if a certain amount of copyrighted songs are detected in a video, it is automatically blocked by YT in some countries, and the digital distributor who protects those copyrights cannot manually unblock it (don't you just love automated systems?). For some reason, with this video it seems to only be happening in the US (at least as far as I'm aware), which is why we didn't notice it until it was already out. We're currently looking if there is a way to remove some of the copyright claims on this specific video, so it becomes unblocked. I really hope it is resolved asap, but there is sadly nothing I can do but wait right now.

No idea how I found this album, but since the first time I heard it, I've been listening each and every time that I pressed play. I have shared it with friends around the world, Norway, Mexico - because the sound is, in my opinion unique. Always looking forward for that intro of I Am The Abyss, always getting the goosebumps from A New Dawn.. And of course everything in between, touring me around thoughts, emotions and feelings that only great music can achieve. I truly experience your music as great and hope by expressing that to you, the artists, that you are inspired to continue the hard work of providing great emotions and feelings through sound!

[@ianw5663]

Bought this off of Bandcamp little over three years ago - still one of the most requested records in the daily carpool among my non-metalhead friends (we've taken to calling it Shylly). Further, what initially drew me to this record, and I'm pretty sure I also said this in the message I sent with my purchase (which you guys were awesome enough to respond to!) is that this is exactly the kind of stuff I did/would write. The tempo changes, the variations on similar themes, THE DRUMMING (represented well by the first minute of 'Emergence' ) are so damn satisfying! Shylmagoghnar speaks to me on a primal level - love you dudes!

[@Shylmagoghnar]

Thank you very kindly for that again btw - it has helped us both financially and morally to keep going with this project :) Responding to your message back then as now was the least I could do. It's always wonderful to hear when someone appreciates your music, but coming from a fellow musician it's special to me. I know how hard it can be for myself to listen to music without going into analysis-mode, so if you can hear this through that filter and still enjoy it... well, that's all we could ever hope for really. Whenever someone requests the album in the car, tell them I said hi please!

I've listened to your album in Spotify. I was listening to Be'Lakor and then, suddenly your album. Then I read the comments and you're really close to your fans. I like the artists when they do that. I love your music. I'm listening to your album now and makes me feel calm (I'm stressed in my last hour of a job day) and I even work faster..!! Thank you guys for your amazing music! (I'm "musician" too)

[@Shylmagoghnar]

+Zephyroth Svartedøden Awesome, hearing that last thing always brightens my mood. We're very glad we could help you through a rough day! It's one of the best things we can hope for. Cool that you noticed our efforts in trying to stay in contact with our listeners btw! This album was a complete do-it-yourself dream of ours which had been lingering in our minds for years, so when it was finally finished we were relieved but at the same time we figured there would probably not be much reaction from the outside world. It happens to so many great small projects that it's just sort of what you expect (since you mention you are a musician as well, maybe you recognize that). But then great reactions did come... and they kept coming! We were so pleasantly surprised by it that we really wanted to dedicate some of our time to show our sincere appreciation in return. And thus it became sort of a thing :)

[@Shylmagoghnar]

+Zephyroth Svartedøden Sorry, your comment landed in the spam so I didn't notice it until now! Sounds great to me! Love the atmosphere and build up - definitely not bothered by it being performed in MIDI at all :) Good work! Happy 10th anniversary btw! That's roughly how long it took us to get from a concept to this album as well. I will definitely not argue that you have to be able to play an instrument to be a musician. Over the years I've met plenty of people who've created beautiful symphonies and some very original sounds in general without ever touching a string. I'd say that the instrument is not what makes the musician; it's just a medium for interpreting the music within your mind. It defiintely has its uses of course. For example, before I played on a drumkit I found it very hard to come up with anything beyond a basic backbeat, because I just couldn't visualize the options there were for a drummer beyond a flat kick-snare pattern with a crash on the first beat. It's when I started using the instrument that there were small realizations like "hey, you can pretty much exchange toms and cymbals in breaks". Those things tend to add up and help you in your creative choices. However, I think there is also something to be said for being "naïve" (not meant in a negative way) about a certain instrument. It may make it easier to think outside of the box and break established patterns.

[@LordZephyroth]

+Shylmagoghnar When I started, my "music" had no genre. It was like I put death and black metal in a blender and added melodic and symphonic stuff to make it more spicy. But then suddenly appeared (and still appear) things that sound out of the concept of melody and harmony, making weird patterns and breaking the atmosphere. Then I realized that that sounds bad, but can be used to give a refreshing change to music standards. I'm surprised your idea took too much time, it's like "woah, seriously?!" by my side, when I started, I produced dozens of songs (now I have around 150 songs but I finally really like only around 20) and in 2009 made a bad movement and lost my harsh voice. my vowels aren't good enough now to make guturales so, no vocalist since then and almost no lyrics since then too. it's kind of hard time make music and have no one to sing the songs... I've tried to sing again this year but results aren't enough good...

[@Shylmagoghnar]

+Zephyroth Svartedøden Yea genre was never our concern either. So many useful tools in different genres that it feels restrictive to just stick to one! And yea, our experience is like your own: even if one has hundreds of songs, that doesn't mean they are all good enough to use... and even if they are, they may not fit together on an album at all! I feel that this is what can make the difference between a mediocre and a great album. I think a good album should feel like a book with sensible chapters and a natural flow of emotions - not just a collection of cool short stories. I think that's an overarching quality which can only arise from experience and lots of trial & error. What's your experience with this in your music? Other than that, what took most time for us was simply learning to play all the instruments well enough, getting decent at audio production, learning how to actually release a CD once it's done, etc. There have been demo versions of this album over the years but they were so much lower in quality that it would probably have wasted our first impression on the world. I think the hardest thing for us was to find that point where we were satisfied with the album!

[@LordZephyroth]

+Shylmagoghnar let me tell you that it's just like you. I've worked in many ideas. I felt really bad (or envious) about all those major bands talking about the north and the winter and stuff purely nordic. I live in the south of the planet and I said: Here is magic too, guys! and started a project called "Tales of Southernland Ceremonies" (back in 2008) I've wrote an album called Sandland for another project (Black Metal) and was about the lose of humanity of a person trapped in the desert. My last project, "Winterwill" is a love/hate/drama story with winter involved, trying to evoke that "Finnish melancholy". I'm not sure about the production of guitars and also I got a little issue with them. I got some glitches in the final recording that are super noticeable. About trial and error, I give my everything, even with a not so good song to make it totally great. I try to don't waste songs, time and inspiration haha

I was extremely bummed today and just clicked on this for some reason. I typically avoid Metal bands with millions of views because I love unique sounding bands and I am not a fan of most mainstream acts. However, this album is amazing and actually has earned all those views by incorporating so many unique styles within it. The first song was so calming and the second song had an old school In Flames meets Amon Amarth vibe. I'm only like fifteen minutes in and I'm hooked!
