{"product_id":"splinterskin-wayward-souls","title":"Splinterskin 'Wayward Souls'","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaught in the oblivious borderland, Splinterskin unveils his spell after years of solitude and hermetic isolation, in the form of a harsh, dark folk music. His tales are told using an old classical guitar accompanied by haunting vocals, violin, and soothing whispers cradled in the delicate atmospheres of autumn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith simple yet mystically riddled lyrics that beckon, Splinterskin taunts the listener with hidden meanings, allegorical concepts, nearly indescribable deep feelings, and a sense of universal understanding only a spirit as Splinterskin could possibly weave together as music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Wayward Souls’ is a collection of tales blending life and death, entities \u0026amp; creatures, hidden wisdom, unknown places, pain and suffering, folklore, possession, insanity, nature and the dark world that surrounds.With tales such as ‘Dancing Dead Men,’ ‘The Thing that Wasn’t,’ and ‘Chanting Bells Call Shadows’, one can only suspect the moods are of a dark, moody and nightmarish nature…yet, there are no words to truly describe Splinterskin’s message or music.“Splinterskin is a one-man project who offers up macabre, horror fuelled, autumnal simmered and strummed dark folk. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Wayward Souls” takes you deep into Splinterskin’s sinister, atmospheric and at times darkly fairground wonky sonic world. Splinterskins’s often hushed, croaky and woodland roughed vocals and acoustic guitars that take in folk and classical music hints; as well as the odd nods at more darkly fairground or freak-show minstrel strum, grimness and discordant… \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLyrically the tracks sort of tread the line between woodland bound Poe tales of murder and creepiness, folklore and dark fairytales, and Splinterskin’s creepy Wildman of woods persona… Wayward Souls is an original \u0026amp; distinctive take on the dark folk genre”(Musique Machine)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
