Dying Victims Productions is proud to present the striking debut EP of Spain’s Fable, »Long Hath The Night Dwelt«, on CD and 12” vinyl formats.
Fable started as a solo-project by Jose Soler (Phantom Spell, Chantrice) influenced by ‘70s and ‘80s hard rock and heavy metal – a list as varied and idiosyncratic as Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Pagan Altar, Ashbury, and Hällas – along with hints of old US metal. Duly girded, the band bring forth their public debut, »Long Hath The Night Dwelt«.
An actually-narrated prelude sets the stage for a cautionary tale about class struggle and revolution, Fable indeed using fables and stories as a medium to tell an expansive story of the woodsfolk dominated under the iron claw of »The Owl«. Despite that, the band’s debut EP is exceptionally compact at five tracks in 22 minutes, moving with a simmering patience that’s heavy on mood and dynamic in its restraint. Never overdriven nor busy, warm and intimate but with a psychic distance that seems impossibly ancient, Fable very much evoke the perhaps-centuries-old folklore that seems so central to their rustic rock; the wise-sage vocals almost seem an afterthought when the narrative flow of the music starts winding and wending like smoke from a tavern fireplace, so illustrative is its hushed power. However, each element here is equally important, and all work together to form a totality that’s unfussy but hewn with class and care.
And this is just the start of this Fable: discover for yourself how »Long Hath The Night Dwelt«!
