About the Band
Paysage d'Hiver (en: "Winter Landscape") is an ambient black metal project from Burgdorf, canton of Bern, Switzerland. Formed in 1997, the sole member is Wintherr—an alias of Tobias Möckl—who is also the frontman of Darkspace as Wroth. Wintherr has cited the Burzum albums Hvis lyset tar oss and Filosofem, among others, as an inspiration for his music. All of Paysage d'Hiver's own material is released through Kunsthall Produktionen, a label Wintherr runs together with his wife. All of the project's releases are connected in that they tell different pieces of a story describing a lone wanderer's experiences through a realm known as "Paysage d'Hiver", from which the project takes its name; the cover art of each work—which, contrary to those of Darkspace, is typically more landscape-oriented and atmospheric than minimalistic and abstract—appears to reflect its respective chapter in the wanderer's journey.

Album Review
Old Wainds' latest offering, 'Stormheart', is a relentless display of raw power and unbridled aggression. The album is a sonic storm that sweeps listeners off their feet with its ferocious guitar riffs, thunderous drumming, and haunting vocals. Standout tracks like 'Northern Starfall' and 'In the Heart of the Storm' showcase the band's ability to create a dark and atmospheric sound that transports the listener to a frostbitten realm. The production quality on 'Stormheart' is top-notch, capturing every nuance of the band's performance with clarity and depth. This album solidifies Old Wainds' position as one of the leading forces in the black metal scene, a must-listen for any fan of the genre.
