VARDAN Stands at the Forefront of the Modern Black Metal / Doom / Atmospheric Scene. Breaking expectations, Bending boundaries, Destroying the norm… Treading NEW ground for the entire Metal genre… while forging a new Path that is Uniquely VARDAN’s !!!
VARDAN continues his ascension to the top of the metal hierarchy with "Nostalgia - Archive Of Failures", a sextology of all new, unreleased material issued as 6 separate albums as well as 2 separate 3-CD Box Sets Part 1-3 & Part 4-6. Chronologically the 25th through 30th albums in the band's vast discography, "Nostalgia" is more than just another set of new records, it’s the vision of one of the Metal scenes most unique and prolific artists.
On "Nostalgia Part 5", VARDAN presents 3 colossal tracks with 46+ minutes of somber, cold, melancholic and reflective Black Metal teeming with abstract keyboards, unleashing all the atmosphere that VARDAN fans have come to expect. Epic in volume, scope and sound, with the second set of “Nostalgia- Archive Of Failures”, VARDAN concurrently delivers three more Black Metal classics at once!
“Just pure genuine black metal" - New Noise
“Engulfing" - Lacerated Metal webzine
“His endless passion for DSBM is unlimited." - EchoesAndDust.com
*“Burzum and Xasthur would be a fair reference point but Vardan has always been instantly identifiable in his own right and really puts his own stamp on things. Near medieval flavours, some classic guitar work and other textures seep in as things slow down to this more ponderous pace, you can almost see this as being a natural development from classical music itself” - AveNoctum.com
*“This trio of releases similarly proves the man’s worth as a highly individual composer/performer…” - Third Eye Cinema
*“It's brash and unconventional. It's painful and uplifting.” - Glacially Musical Webzine *From “Nostalgia - Archives of Failure - Parts 1-3”
