RUNOPATIA

Runopatia formed in 2008 as an avant-garde black metal project, with its own interpretation of this genre. Emotional hypersensitivity, influencing the need for expression, which does not conform to any norms and limitations, except for its own, remains consciously the most important constant in the band’s identity. As time passes, spectre alike lurking in a void between the records, only emphasizes the archaic nature and selflessness of Runopatia’s and its member’s work.

Musicians of Runopatia about upcoming record: “Technically, “Archaistia” remains easiest to follow, catchy, if you will, Runopatia record to this day and stays so, due all but simplest form and composition of the tracks. Main factor, probably, being responsible for how this EP found to represent itself at the end, is simply because it was predicted to be recorded, yet unplanned in a core, but at the same time, changed drastically somehow spontaneous, at the very late stage.

Visually, simultaneously, it is no less rooted in archaic, townsfolks atmosphere of the times that were never lived, but recognized as a view from renaissance woodcuts in printed fairy tales. Tearing us from reality into telling stories and poems of infinite imagination.“

Music was recorded, mixed and mastered by Przemysław Nowak at Impressive-Art Studio (Odraza, Asgaard, Outre, Totenmesse). “Archaista” EP will be released digitally (pre-save) and as limited CD on December 13, 2024 by Polish underground label TDM Archivist. Pre-order is available via Bandcamp.
