Weiland' is Empyrium's fourth album and embodies the quintessence of this unique band. Still performed acoustically, it combines the atmospheric suspense of the first two albums (e.g., "Heimkehr", "Die Schwäne i'm Schilf") with the pensive still lives of "Where At Night..." (e.g., 'Kein Hirtenfeuer glimmt mehr', 'Nebel'). The musical spectrum of the project is enriched through the re-integration of drums and the introduction of instruments such as viola, violin, bassoon, or Mellotron, so there is also a lot to discover for those who already know Empyrium. The album is entirely devoted to nature mysticism. In it's three chapters - Marsh, Forest, and Water -, Empyrium portray their view of nature in romantic and legendary ways. This 20th anniversary edition comes as hardcover book (12" format, 48 pages) incl. The album's three chapters on three CDs as originally intended by the artist plus bonus track. It also includes exclusive nature photography and liner notes by Empyrium mastermind Markus Stock.
