Description
Castlefest is an annual medieval / pagan / wiccan festival around the sabbat of lughnasadh (lamas) held in the first weekend of August, near the village of Lisse in the Netherlands.
ROSA CRVX create a martial and apocalyptic atmosphere with their music and aim directly at the heart of elements.
Obsessively, yet never brutally, they explore elementary questions about life and death, confront us with primal fears of humanity.
Facing darkness and abyss they are looking for new ways to explore foreign territories which will only open to the light when we start to acknowledge that the only solution means accepting mysteries.
That’s how ROSA CRVX manage to reach the depths of human soul with their alien yet familiar sounds. They use harmonies of ancient music, ecclesiastic rites plus Gothic Rock elements, drum samples of military music and passages of Ambient- and Industrial-music and combine them to an organic whole which has become a sole monument of French art in the last 20 years.
The resulting sound conjures lunacy and power -unleashing in the synthesis of arts. Acoustic instruments and electronic sounds melt with self-made instruments, march rhythms, cold piano strikes, huge chimes, atmospheric guitars, alien plainchants and a passionate vocalist carry us along into a frightening yet inspiring roller coaster of emotions and thoughts.
Rosa+Crvx plays on the Friday of Castlefest.
