SYLVAINE Releases first single off new EP ‘Eg Er Framand’

More information about Eg Er Framand
SYLVAINE has grown into a guiding light for ambient post-metal and atmospheric black metal, but today Kathrine Shepard, the visionary artist behind Sylvaine traces back to her roots with the new EP Eg Er Framand.
Growing up in Norway, amidst the contrasts between nature and urbanity, she often performed in the Kampen Church in Oslo. This 19th century relic is also where she recorded the entirety of this ethereal new EP.
The first single “Dagsens Augo Sloknar Ut” has mysterious origins – with lyrics written in 1891 by Elias Blix, a professor-turned-politician who also wrote hymns. Staying true to the original’s delicate, reverent melody, Sylvaine sings “Dagsens Augo Sloknar Ut” in a breathy, elongated whisper that’s haunting and soothing at the same time.
The music video for the first single has been directed and produced by William Lacalmontie. A magnificent tapestry of landscapes on which Kathrine expressively dances. En enchanting and poetic production that beautifully fits this first single off Eg Er Framand:

As Sylvaine begins to unfold her upcoming EP, a fairytale intricately crafted by Kathrine accompanies this release:
“A beating heart so pure
Who wished to feel once more
As her eyes slowly opened to the world
She lifted her head
And at once beheld
A light in front of her
A path to take
The choice to make
To lead her on her way
A story about to begin
Of a soul ignited again
On a road to turn loose dismay?”

Maybe you caught her shredding through Midgardsblot or screaming and soaring across Motocultor Open Air. But she’s far from done.
