Formed as a secretive solo project in 2013 in the Isle of Wight to express feelings of isolation, introspection and esoteric emotions, Ethereal Shroud practices black metal with challenging song structures and lengths. The songs are cinematic, engaging with melodic riffs and hugely atmospheric soundscapes with layers that unravel with close listening, repeating motifs and progressive undertones that revel in subtlety as opposed to showy displays. They show to you only as much as you put in, rewarding you for dedication – created entirely by himself in isolation. Killer!
