about

[EN]
"Here are the dragons": on the maps of the Middle Ages, this phrase was used to designate the limits of the known world, the strange, dangerous and extreme places where terrifying monsters were supposed to live. Bruno Karnel's new album explores some of these extreme places, lost in the ice ("Tromsø", "Mare Congelatum",
"Opération Septentrion"), crushed by the black heat of ancient Mexico ("Thiua") or smothered in desert sand (Lima, "La grise, la triste, l'horrible").

Between Post-Rock ("Kusi Kuyllur"), Heavy Prog ("Tromsø", "Musique
obsidienne") and lunar Folk ("Négatif des vagues"), the 11 tracks on "Hic sunt dracones", sung in French or English, also explore many musical territories.

Recorded and mixed by Florent Morel, like the previous album "Las Ilusiones", at Marg'Sound Studio (which now plays host to big names on the French scene, such as Bandits Bandits), "Hic sunt dracones", unlike its predecessor, features a host of guests (over a dozen ! ) from all over the world, including bassist Julien Waghon,
drummer Pavel Ljubičić, guitarists Ricardo Da Silva (In Your I) and Matthieu Gajewski (Mattheui, ex-Master Crow), and cellist Polina Faustova (who toured with Hans Zimmer)... The album is mastered by Thomas "Plec "Johansson (Soilwork,Molesome,Pixie Ninja, Anima Morte...).

[FR]
"Ici sont les dragons" : sur les cartes géographiques du Moyen-Âge, on inscrivait cette mention pour désigner les limites du monde connu, les endroits étranges, dangereux, extrêmes, ou l'on supposait que vivaient des monstres terrifiants. Le nouvel album de Bruno Karnel explore quelques uns de ces endroits extrêmes, perdus dans les glaces ("Tromsø", "Mare Congelatum", "Opération Septentrion"),
écrasés de la chaleur noire du Mexique ancien ("Thiua") ou étouffés par le sable du désert (Lima, "La grise, la triste, l'horrible").

Entre Post-Rock ("Kusi Kuyllur"), Heavy Prog ("Tromsø", "Musique obsidienne") et Folk lunaire ("Négatif des vagues"), les 11 titres de "Hic sunt dracones", chantés en français ou en anglais, explorent aussi de nombreux territoires musicaux.

Enregistré et mixé par Florent Morel, comme le précédent album "Las
Ilusiones", au Marg'Sound Studio, qui accueille maintenant de grands noms de la scène française, comme Bandits Bandits, "Hic sunt dracones" accueille au contraire de son prédécesseur de très nombreux invités (plus d'une dizaine !), venant du monde
entier : citons en particulier le bassiste Julien Waghon, le batteur Pavel Ljubičić, les guitaristes Ricardo Da Silva (In Your I) et Matthieu Gajewski (Mattheui, ex-Master Crow), ou encore la violoncelliste Polina Faustova (qui a tourné avec Hans Zimmer)... Le mastering est signé Thomas "Plec"Johansson (Soilwork, Molesome,Pixie Ninja,
Anima Morte...).
