Folk/Black Metal Blending Electric And Acoustic Music Ambient Soundscapes Original Lyrics And Classical Lithuanian Poetry Male And Female Vocals To Create A Memorable Work That Summons The Ancient Spirit From The Shadows Of False Temples.
In The Vein Of Bands Such As DRUDKH EMPYRIUM ANUBI Early OBTEST And Should Be Sought Out By Fans Of Kroda Burzum Arkona Nocturnal Infernal Temnozor Velimor Et Al. For The Combination Of Folk Pagan And Black Metal. However Always Remaining An Original And Visionary Brand Of Metal. Altorių Šešėliai Is The Dark Aesthetic Rising From Endless Yearning. Yearning The Values That Now Seem Rejected And Considered To Be Humdrum "unpopular". Id Est Sensibility Tenderness Contemplation Love For One's Homeland It's Nature And Particularly It's Past. The Roots Of This Aesthetic Are Found In The Shadows Of Foreign Altars Where The Old Baltic Culture Wasn't Crushed By The Power Of Interloper Religion.
It Is Not Plainspoken Glorification Of The Baltic Past By Using Folklore Elements In Music. True Reality Of The Ancient Pagan World Is Unlikely To Be Found In Here. It Is More Looking For Moments In The Present In Which The Old Reality Still Echoes... It Is Living Through The Wind Of Spring Through The Silence Of Summer Nights Through The Rustle Of Autumn Leaves And Through The Stillness Of Forests Buried With Snow... It Is Encoded In Paintings By M. K. Čiurlionis In The Poetry Of V. Mačernis V. M.-Putinas Ir P.Širvys.
