About Swartalf
Swartalf is a project from Germany. Probably on purpose, the band remains somewhat of a mystery. The only known member is named Count Ycklagh, but it is generally accepted that musicians from some famous black metal bands were involved. On March 17 2015, Phallus Dei announced that Swartalf was Richard Van Kruysdijk's Dark Ambient project. The debut album, "Candles Burning Blue", released in 1996, was an impressive combination of ambient electronics, neoclassical strings and a touch of droning black metal riffing. The second album, "The Golden Section", released in 2000, showed a more powerful sound, topped by crunching guitars and massive industrial metal percussion, combined with bombastic orchestral arrangements and gothic poetry recited by hellish male vocals countered by heavenly female chants.
