DARGAARD

the Austrian duo founded by Tharen (ABIGOR, AMESTIGON, HEIDENREICH, DOMINION), have completed work on their fourth album, “Rise and Fall”, tentatively due in March through Napalm Records. “This might well be DARGAARD's best album so far, with the title song clocking over 10 minutes for example,” the band write on their web site.

Clocking in at 55 minutes, the follow-up to 2001's “The Dissolution of Eternity” “delivers bombastic vocal arrangements, and boasts of an outstanding production,” according to a Napalm Records press release. More details will be made available soon.
