{"product_id":"white-willow-ex-tenebris-remaster-transparent-blue-vinyl","title":"White Willow - Ex Tenebris (Remaster) (TRANSPARENT BLUE VINYL) |","description":"Ex Tenebris is the classic second album from Norwegian prog legends White Willow, originally released in 1997. It was made after the Ignus Fatuus line-up had disbanded. Originally intended to be a solo album by Jacob Holm-Lupo, it turned into a White Willow record when he realized it was going more in a progressive direction than anticipated. The recording was quick and dirty, done on a shoestring budget, but there is some charm to the natural drum ambience and first-takes-only feel of the album. \nOverall, Ex Tenebris ended up being a more stripped-down, somewhat darker album than Ignis Fatuus. No krumhorns or renaissance vocal groups, more electric guitar and synths. The songs range from almost neo-progish mini-epics like Leaving the House of Thanatos, via acoustic balladry (The Book of Love, Thirteen Days) to more overtly gothic stuff like A Strange Procession \u0026amp; A Dance of Shadows. The album has become a bit of a cult favourite with the band’s fans, and was White Willows’s first step towards something more original than the first album’s retro-styled psych-folk.\n\nThis re-release was meticulously remastered by the band’s own Jacob Holm-Lupo and is presented with the classic original cover art, for the first time on vinyl. This is the second in a series of six White Willow re-releases on Karisma Records.","brand":"White Willow","offers":[{"title":"- METAL *NEW*","offer_id":45137619615859,"sku":"E5EHW8-UVVE-VX","price":24.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/metal-new_fNd5A.jpg?v=1779555579","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/white-willow-ex-tenebris-remaster-transparent-blue-vinyl","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
