Carved In Stone are a solo project from Germany which consists of a member from t he Viking metal band Taunusheim and plays a mystic form of folk music and this is a review of her 2021 album "Wafts Of mist & The Forgotten Belief" which was released by Scharzdom Production.
Atmospheric sounding keyboards start off the album along with some acoustic guitars a few seconds later which also add in a good mixture of both finger picking and full chords. Vocals are done in mostly a clean style while the music is heavily rooted in folk music and each song also sounds very different from each other.
A lot of the songs also bring in more of ancient and mystical style while one song also introduces flutes onto the album. Most of the tracks are also ballads along with some tracks also adding in harp's and piano's and the whole recording also sticks to a more acoustic, slow and melancholic direction.
Carved In Stone plays a style of folk music that is very mystical, ancient and melancholic sounding. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and German and cover fantast, dreams, nature and melancholic themes.
In my opinion Carved In Stone are a very great sounding mystic folk music solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Night" "It Is Me" "To Fantasy, Mother of Dreams" and "Ruins". 8 out of 10.
