about

DARGAR came about as a inside joke between myself and Pete from HARASSOR. We used to joke around about having a band called DARGAR whose name was derived from Marc Singer's character Dar from the film "The Beastmaster", and Sam Elliot's character Gar from the film "Mask". We were going to use photos of the characters as the band photos and we would laugh about it. I had been using Garageband on my Macbook for awhile and was getting pretty comfortable with the application. I got this idea to create some fake drum beats and have Pete improvise guitar and vocals to the rhythms. Then I could sample tiny pieces of the guitar riffs, loop and edit them together and re-program new beats around them to build songs. I did the same with the vocals and the results were these really cool and weird black metal songs. I still feel like this first DARGAR release has a strange, alien quality to it that doesn't sound like anything else. It was a lot of fun for me to work that way, since I had all this raw material to start with it relieved me of some of the creative pressure. The cover image came from the 1968 film "The Devil Rides Out". Pete told me since then that another more prominent band used the same image. I considered changing it but whatever, I still like it. This ended up being the first pro-tape I did on my label with xeroxed covers on silver paper stock. I made 100 copies and it's long gone. ~Horus

Das schwarze Metall-Eisen
by Paysage d'Hiver

supported by 4 fans who also own “Dargar”

Initialement présent dans l'album Schattengang, Das schwarze Metall-Eisen a fini par mériter une sortie en tant que single, un choix qui fait sens car on voit Paysage d'Hiver sous un jour inhabituel. Wintherr dépeint une bataille sanguinaire : ce tableau où tourbillonnent bleu, rouge, noir et blanc est accompagné de riffs tranchants. Les synthés polaires disparaissent, changeant son black metal atmosphérique en black metal tout court. Wintherr hurle tel le corbeau attendant son funeste repas. Jordan Vauvert

Geister
by Paysage d'Hiver

supported by 4 fans who also own “Dargar”

Striking and hypnotic, listening through Geister is a rugged and immense journey. The album is brimming with ceremonial darkness from the moment it starts. The intensity of each track is bookended with ritual, and this immersive factor keeps me utterly entranced by the story being told. Geister still feels frigid and dangerous, and I end up captivated every time I listen. Septembre
