Basarabian Hills is a musical project from Moldova that, although labels itself as Atmospheric Black Metal, focuses on a particular type of ambient melodic tunes, that hardly could be considered Black Metal in tone. Their latest work, the sixth album of Basarabian Hills, simply titled Attraction, was released on May 27, 2016, and consists of four songs, all of them instrumental: Particle, Blacklight, Metamorphosis and Attraction. 

Delicate, beautiful and very poetic melodies are the driven force behind this recent release. Managing to create from the grievances and condolences of existence astounding melodies able to capture the beauty of the human soul in all of the depths of its frozen internal conflicts, the songs of Basarabian Hills invite the listener to a journey into the dark underworld of the forests of Bessarabia, where those indefinite, yet enchanting enhancing melodies will guide you through a universe of mystical myths and labyrinths that only the mesmerizing and dwelling tracks of Attraction could lead you so far. Doing a perfect match of atmospheric and ambient devices, Basarabian Hills manages to introduce between the harmonious serenities of its songs poetic delimitations of melodic sadness, rearranging in the intermittent, yet continually deep understanding of its artistic intuition, the sincere and cohesive alignment that categorizes and defines the field on which its music is built upon.

The sincere beauty and the simple majesty natural to its creation is what made Basarabian Hills’ albums so deeply magical, mythical, poetical and appreciative. Besides the simplicity, the ingenious elements of easy assimilation gives a unique charm to the sphere of influence of its musical proposal, expanding the creativity and the singularity that the music easily achieves, through the atmosphere created by the sound. And so this goes, effectively making you think that you are wandering all alone, in a magical forest that never ends, and that you are completely alone in the world, and you have nothing to fear, even if it is dark, and you may get that feeling that darkness possibly will never fade away. 

Although the album – having just four songs – is a little bit short, it manages to perfectly create the atmosphere it resounds to evoke: give to its listeners a secure, magical, unprecedented and rejuvenating journey by a dark forest that will never end, but will drive you to find yourself in the middle of a lonely pathway of glorious existence, in an intricate and desolate trail, that sometime, will be filled with beauty, enchantment, pain and feelings of personal accomplishment. Basarabian Hills is one of those projects designed to make you see that, in order to search for the light, you may have to cross the darkness first.
