Gwenifer is an absolute phenomenon - sparse American primitive instrumentals drawn from the roots music of Mississippi and Appalachia. Influenced by the likes of Skip James, John Fahey, Roscoe Holcomb and John Hurt. Ancient Hostility are equally phenomenal - they combine traditional folk singing with stories of modern day resistance and struggle, personal reflection and heartbreak, acoustic drone and a love of heavy metal. Lyrics that move from fiercely political to soberingly honest are sung in close harmony. Finding harmony in contrast, relief in honesty, and hope in the darkness, Ancient Hostility are calming songs for turbulent times.
