Antiqva (pronounced as; antiqua) was conceived by Xenoyr and Schoocraft through touring in the mild European Autumn of 2015. They had both felt the need to explore different musical pathways within the same band, ultimately starting a project that combined the age and elegance of classical music with the wild fervour of black metal, bringing both worlds together to create something altogether truly immense yet intimately detailed. Featuring an experienced ensemble of past, present and live musicians from well established bands; Ne Obliviscaris, Negator, Karkaos/Blackguard, Black Crown Initiate, Susperia/Abyssic, and The Ocean; Antiqva hope to pay homage to an old organic sound whilst bringing to the fore the varied influences within the band.Through focused isolation and international production in 2020, Antiqva, dubbed as Chamber Black Metal, will reveal their debut single, 'Funeral Crown' - set to be released in December. Following into 2021 will see the band finalising the writing and production process for their debut full length album, continuing the push for this line-up to keep expanding their vision through these challenging and uncertain times.TRACKLIST Side A Track List: 01: Funeral Crown (7:49) 02: Anadem Gyre (Bonus Track) (4:04)
