SILVESTER ANFANG
Silvester Anfang is the Belgian Funeral Folk collective gathered in a free folk droneband. The line-up depends on who's available to record/perform. The compositions are mostly non-musical offertories to worship their almighty overlord Brohll, but every now and then things work out as free psychedelic improvisations. The country side of East-Flanders, where the band has its recording space, is essential for the atmosphere they want to create in their music. Near the canals where Canadian soldiers once fought the Germans, there lies a sort of mystical feeling of returned calmness. Silvester Anfang also breaths that tension between quietness and restlessness
Satanische Vrede | lp - sold out
Debut lp from the Belgian free-psychcollective Silvester Anfang.
Toxic lullabies for the buried alive - Unbroken Circle
Satanische Vrede is the debut lp of the Maldegem-based free psych collective Silvester Anfang. After loads of cdr and cassette releases that show an evolution from drones to folk and psych - the band have found a sound that floats somewhere in between Davenport, German Oak and Träd, Gräs Och Stenar. Every track comes to life while playing and searching, and that's exactly what you hear on the biggest part of this record. Small coincidences push the musicians in a certain direction, and because of this the outcome never sounds artificial or far-fetched. Most of the times Silvester Anfang is joined by self-declared non-musicians, which results in long sessions with a maximum of openness and freedom. A warm and organic sound and lo-fi recording quality have been priorities since day one. Some people see this as an attitude, other people blame it on the fact that they only have a 4-track and one recording mic. You can call it a crap addiction; the Silvester Anfang horde rather call it 'post-satanic krautfolk'. [K050]
