Appalachian Winter is a one man black metal band from the rural mountains of Pennsylvania. The theme of this band is the various entities of Pennsylvania's environment, with a focus on the harshness of Winter.
All albums are available for free download online. As he stated in an interview, D. G. Klyne used to make physical copies, but decided against doing so in the future. He changed that with the release of "Ghosts of the Mountains" which again is being released physically but still available for free download.
I love one man band projects...cause they have proven that you dont need that many people if yoire talented to do such things as a whole album...even a song is a challenge and a victory also...and doing it by yourself it demonstrates the opposite as stated in the music canons and conditions...that nowadays are getting obsolete and practically useless.
Mr. Klyne has already to this date, 6 albums...being this one his last masterpiece...and it is a really good album indeed...even though it has his atmospheric passages invoking the clear influence by Summoning...it also has some symphonic elements that are unique in its style...defined by the many influences he has in that area...vocals are great...guitars are well done...drum machine sounds clear...altough maybe later as a suggestion if he tries a real drum sound or even a drummer to join him...that will improve the music to a whole new level...but so far...it is good in my opinion.
something to check on in a rainy day or even when winter season begins...wherever you are.
Enjoy!
