Originally intended to be a solo album by Jacob Holm-Lupo, it turned into a White Willow record when he realized it was going more in a progressive direction than anticipated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recording was quick and dirty, done on a shoestring budget, but there is some charm to the natural drum ambiance and first-takes-only feel of the album.\u003cbr\u003eOverall, Ex Tenebris ended up being a more stripped-down, somewhat darker album than Ignis Fatuus.\u003cbr\u003eNo krumhorns or renaissance vocal groups, more electric guitar and synths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe songs range from almost neo-progish mini-epics like Leaving the House of Thanatos, via acoustic balladry (The Book of Love, Thirteen Days) to more overtly Gothic stuff like A Strange Procession \u0026amp; A Dance of Shadows.\u003cbr\u003eThe album has become a bit of a cult favourite with the band’s fans and was White Willows’s first step towards something more original than the first album’s retro-styled psych-folk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis re-release was meticulously remastered by the band’s own Jacob Holm-Lupo and is presented with the classic original cover art, for the first time on vinyl.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the second in a series of six White Willow re-releases on Karisma Records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53437997777239,"sku":"P-141747-","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/White-Willow-Ex-Tenebris-CD-141747-1-1707477836_5956b62c-efe9-4b4d-8685-27d8dcd26317.jpg?v=1778227406","url":"https:\/\/shop.season-of-mist.com\/products\/white-willow-ex-tenebris-cd","provider":"Season of Mist - International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
