The solo project of Alexander von Meilenwald -- the maniacally technical drummer of German horde Nagelfar, as well as being a live and/or session member of Truppensturm, Abusus, Verdunkeln and more -- with THE RUINS OF BEVERAST the man has constantly astounded audiences on every release, each album showcasing more forward-thinking progression and creatively constructed aggression than the last. Meilenwald fully self-constructs every element of the music, taking the veracity and creativity of his brutal percussion, axemanship and synth-laden atmospheres to otherworldly levels on the third THE RUINS OF BEVERAST full-length, Foulest Semen Of A Sheltered Elite, and pushing the album to the limits with a massive play time of nearly an hour and twenty minutes! The end result is far more involved and intriguing than a simple black metal release; the thunderous, epic and brilliant album is easily one of the most flooring and unique releases in recent metal history. This is the new edition with new layout, 2xLP on black virgin vinyl with thick silver & bronze printed inner sleeve. [Ván]
