Aelter - Dusk-dawn/Follow You Beloved

2011 two CD solo release from Wolvserpent guitarist Blake Green AKA Aelter. Both bands explore a similar dark, majestic realm with massive, down-tuned guitar roar and bleak, minor-key melodies, but where Wolvserpent blends Green's chugging, Melvins-esque heaviness and haunting slow-core arpeggios with violins, pounding drums and a propensity for extended hypno-dirges, Aelter almost completely dispenses with drums, filling the spaces with layered keyboards and gorgeous harmonized voices reminiscent of Beggars Banquet or 4AD releases.
