Marțolea is the project of Alin Drimus, who also contributed with pipe parts to Negură Bunget’s “OM” album.
Marțolea is a Demonic entity in Romanian mythology who lives up in the mountains and descends on Tuesday nights to lure with his singing and punish the women caught working.
Gâlmele Întunericului is old Romanian for “The fiends of darkness”. Gâlmele Întunericului is a musical expression that combines elements from black metal and Romanian traditional folklore. Each track refers to a mythological creature from the folklore of Bucovina. They are considered malefic forces of nature, that take different forms, from maidens, to ugly old hags. These creatures are present in the deep woods, always at night. Unlucky travelers may be lured and charmed by them. Few manage to escape from the horrible things that await them. Even nowadays, these supra-natural beings have a strong influence over the lives of people, being present in many folk tales and stories in Bucovina region.
Muma Pădurii (Mother of the woods) – ugly evil hag living deep in the woods and showing no mercy to those who try to harm the forest in any way.
Fata Pădurii (Daughter of the woods) – long green hair fairy of the woods who usually charms young lads with her beauty making them unable to find their way back home.
Caii lui SânToader (Saint Toader’s Horses) – fierce hybrid monsters, half human- half horse, who wonder in spring nights and crush the infidel and snitching women in their gallop.
Samca – unholy spirit who often materializes as a monstrous spitting fire naked woman bringing disease to children and pregnant women in order to cease human life by all means.

@absque-tumulus: I agree that this is poorly crafted metal with some wind instruments tacked on. I however love these wind instruments and wish these pieces were better integrated like in Negura Bungets Om and that the rest of the music held up. I wish there was music like this that was good, that I could love wholeheartedly. Martolea serves as inspiration for fantasies of such creations.

Hey:) I'd like to buy a demo (Gâlmele Întunericului) on CD. I bought the album from Alin (Noaptea Dihăniilor ) already, but I found out about the release of his demo on CD too late (i found out about it around march this year) and was sold out before I could buy it ;< so if any of you have it or seen it for sale somewhere, I would be grateful for the information ;) if you have CD and you don't wan't to sell it, it would be great if you could threw on some server this demo ripped to FLAC Best regards, Mateusz "Sindsoron" Wądrzyk

I can assure you that my ears are not "mediocre and poor". maybe you are retarded. it's fun assuming stuff about strangers that don't match your music taste isn't it?

Eddy1109, absque-tumulus - are you guys talking about his first album? That's indeed mediocre. Try the other one - Noaptea Dihăniilor. That's very good stuff!

this is just poorly crafted metal to my ears. adding some wind instruments over low-fi mediocre metal is not a redeeming feature. it just sounds sampled and lacks any shred of real atmosphere. I don't know what are all these people below me talking about but I'm clearly not hearing it. no reason for praise whatsoever.
