New Mystical Folk music from Carved in Stone

CARVED IN STONE is the solo project of Swawa, who herself played in different Metal bands before joining her current Viking Metal band Taunusheim, where she´s doing backing vocals, keyboards and flutes.

After the great success of her foregoing releases “The Forgotten Belief” (2002), “Hear the Voice” (2004) and “Tales of Glory & Tragedy” (2007) the fourth album of CARVED IN STONE now is about to be released after a break of 14 years.

Produced again by Schwarzdorn Productions and again framed by the great booklet artwork of Medienproduktion Kuntz, the result is “Wafts of Mist & The Forgotten Belief”, a collection of new songs as well as a re-release of the original recordings from the debut mini-album, which had been limited to 500 pieces and now is made available for all to hear.

Having kept her unique style mixing mystic Folk and Songwriter elements, singer Swawa is presenting another wonderful collection of ballads and tales, as well as very personal songs, surrounded by the atmospheric sound of acoustic instruments and epic choirs.

For the first time in the band´s history, there will also be a music video release for the title “The Moth and the Star” on November 19th (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tnqp5Mz-gg)
