FROM AVANTGARDE MUSIC:
By now the name Valdrin
is known to many ears. The melodic black metal band from Ohio has been
constantly rising in the underground for over a decade now, gathering
acclaim across the board thanks to its unique narrative approach,
singing the deeds of Valdrin Ausadjur. Still, it is not known to many
that the first Valdrin studio album, the first chapter in the Valdrin
Ausadjur saga, is somewhat of a lost record. Originally crafted between
2011 and 2012, Beyond The Forest only saw the light through two small
runs of CDs in 2013 and 2014, and has been unavailable since. Until now.
The
renewed collaboration between Valdrin and Avantgarde Music brings forth
the first proper edition of Beyond The Forest, scheduled for release on
March 27th, 2026, just in time for the band’s first European tour ever
(courtesy of Occult Booking). Valdrin’s very first effort, now made available on CD and double LP with a brand-new cover art by long-time collaborator Lucas Ruggieri Illustration
and a dedicated vinyl mastering by Tim Yatras (Austere, Germ), tells
the first steps of a hero. Here is how the legend was born…
