The sensation that floods the mind when that which was intangible now becomes birthed into physical form can truly be intoxicating, for it is like the eyes which looks upon a blade of grass, admiring its construct, its tenderness, where the fingers feel its edge and dew upon its tip. One can take such an experience for granted, but in that fleeting moment, if those seconds can be bottled, true Magick takes place, the connection of mind and art.
‘Keď na nebi zažiaria hviezdy’ by Lesovik channels the unbridled nature-like Magick spirit of Black Metal and from its own resonance creates a spirit that becomes a wraith upon the senses. Flowing in similar stream to bands like Nokturnal Mortum and Arckanum, the energy of Lesovik pulsates in rhythm to those that came before while carving their own sigil.
A journey is undertaken with the strings, where the notes radiate in a frigid yet fluid texture, but the beauty of its resonance comes forth in its expressive cadence to take the metallic and raw dissonance and fashion it to mimic a rabid and hungry wintry rage. The track ‘Keď na nebi zažiaria hviezdy’ is a testament to the atmosphere manifested, however, the Magick arrives naught in how the aura is painted but rather how it is woven into the fabric of one’s senses, as though the mind can discern the depth and texture of each melody, for it is like the snow against the flesh, to feel its cold within the nerves as it slowly transforms itself.A harmonious melody spirals and permeates through the EP in unison to the vocals which exudes an earthly tone. ‘Krvou poznačení’ showcases this through the vocal assault, the harsh, rasping timbre of the crude texture bestows unto the sound an organic cadence, as though this voice is that which is reaped from the soil of the earth.
The sounds of Lesovik tills the earth of one’s mind, and from its essence burrows its seed into the core of consciousness, and from that which is reaped comes forth a landscape for the soul to taste the breath of tranquility.
