The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud – The Smell Of Blood But Victory (1997)

Country: Austria

Tracklist

1 - 24 Untitled 01:33:42

Founded in Austria in 1993, The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud was a medieval martial ambient project 

formed by musician Albin Julius (also in Der Blutharsch) and vocalist Alzbeth.
The music was all created electronically, shifting in style from pure ambient soundscapes to pounding martial anthems, 

while the vocals ranged from soothing ethereal love songs to shouted declarations of war 

and European medievalism including ritual, clerical chants.
When performing live, the band often played in old churches, fortresses, medieval prisons 

and theaters that provided an appropriate atmosphere for their static, militaristic performances.
All the bands releases were through their own personal label Arthur's Round Table 

which was based in Switzerland, and distributed by World Serpent.
With each release the band presented themes traveling further into European history 

and becoming more martial, choral and bombastic in approach, culminating in their final album, 

the largely World War II-inspired The Smell Of Blood But Victory 

which was released as a limited edition box of 2000 copies including CD, a bonus MCD and a poster.
The group disbanded in 1998 after Albin's and Alzbeth's partnership broke up.
In 2000 Alzbeth released ART 13, which is a complete book of lyrics, photographs and references 

for the historical themes used by the band. This book is stated to be the final word in the project.

The Memory link contains also the book in pdf format.
