ALGONKIAN MYTHOS, the debut album from NECHOCHWEN, is modern acoustic music
spawned from a distant era. The album consists of ten tracks that focus on
real people and real events involving Eastern Woodland Indian tribes in
eighteenth century America. While some may categorize this as relaxing
neo-folk music, the listener might occasionally smell woodsmoke and feel
that someone is pointing a flintlock to his head while listening to it.
Acoustic and classical guitars blend with chants and percussion to create a
morose and aggressive new sound in dark classical music.
The music of NECHOCHWEN will have a great appeal to those who are listeners
of such great artists the likes of ULVER, TENHI, EMPYRIUM, and OCTOBER
FALLS. Yet the music of NECHOCHWEN also stands along side classical guitar
genius the likes of ANDRES SEGOVIA. The Monumental album ALGONKIAN MYTHOS
is a dedication to the Native American roots and heritage of NECHOCHWEN.
The listener will embark on journey of the soul set to an epic soundtrack
of glorious classical neo folk unlike any other in existance! Each song
portrays a somber story... Words directly from NECHOCHWEN: "These songs are
about things that actually happened to real people, horrifically sad and
gut-wrenching things that, if understood, are just as brutal as the rest of
your roster".
