Reviews for Heilagmanoth
Femme Metal :: 10/10
"From top to bottom Heilagmanoth is one hell of a release. The entire presentation is well done and top notch. The musicianship is great, the production is crystal clear and the CD packaging really is impressive."
Metal Sirens :: 8,5
"Sicuramente i Dunwich con questo lavoro si sono messi alla prova, migliorando molto dal passato e creando forse uno dei miglior lavori dell'anno. "Heilagmanoth" non deluderà gli amanti del genere in quanto la bravura c'è e si sente parecchio."

Outune
"I Dunwich hanno la capacità di prendere l'ascoltare e trascinarlo in nuovi territori, facendolo letteralmente vivere all'interno delle loro visioni, facendogli smarrire la via di casa per tutta la durata del disco e lasciandolo con una gran voglia di perdersi nuovamente."

Quebec Audio & Video :: 9/10
"Cette fois, Claudio Nigirs propose uun heureux amalgame de musique celtique-romantique et de variations un peu plus hard à la Ayreon. La nouvelle chanteuse alterne aussi les paroles italiennes et anglaises. le résultat est très divertissant, pour ne pas dire, délicieusement déstabilisant. pour oreilles un peu plus aventureuses!"

"This disc is so pure and artistic. With its string, brass, and choir arrangements, "Heilagmanoth" transcends all boundaries of commercial acceptability in their genre."
Heavyworlds :: 9
".una varietà musicale forse lontana dal metal più puro ma azzardando un confronto, vicino agli Haggard e per certi versi forse un po' colonna sonora ma col potenziale di creare un'atmosfera particolare durante l'ascolto, quasi mistica."

Raw & Wild :: 8/10
"La produzione dell'album è perfetta e riesce a valorizzare le sfumature che lo impreziosiscono. Un album veramente bello che dimostra che chi fa per sé… Cosa aspettate a contattare la band e a far vostro questo disco?"English translation needed
Artrock :: 9,5
"The originality is outstanding which is worth some extra points but it isn't nessesary as "Heilagmanoth" is capable to stand on its own legs, with influences from the classical Italian music at its best. Therefore do I chose not to pick out any particular song. Instead I recommend the listener to listen to the album which is as complete as it can ever be."
English translation
Musikreviews :: 13/15
"DUNWICH delivers with "Heilagmanoth" the most intricate and most professional self production I ever heard. More important though: It's one of the best albums of the year so far! Who follows them on their journey and invests time appropriately is rewarded with musical variety and unique atmosphere."
Italian translation | English translation
Darkroom Magazine :: 8
"Heilagmanoth potrebbe essere descritto come un'avventurosa saga epica, raccontataci da tre misteriosi bardi dell'era moderna, oppure come un mondo sperduto nei meandri dello spazio e del tempo, nel cui etere echeggiano sensazioni mistiche e prodigiose."English translation needed
Prog Archives:: 4/5
Artists & Bands :: 80/100
"A successful album indeed, that deserved a traditional distribution instead of the autharchic management, but with the advantage (not to be underestimated) of a greater freedom of expression without impositions.
Fascinating!"

Biography
The Dunwich project was started in 1985 by Claudio Nigris, composer and keyboards player. Inspired by the tragic end of the town of Dunwich , the music tries to bring back those mystic and unique atmospheres through dark-metal sounds as well as classical instruments and on to ancient and uncommon ones.
Since the beginning the project took advantage of the friendly contributions of many talented musicians, and in this period of time Alessandro Vitanza (drums) has become a stable band element, until 1998. Also in this period took place many concerts and shows with a traditional/pagan theme and some clear references to the literary gothic of the 1900s. This has given the opportunity to be known through magazines, who took the time to review the demo-tapes and the concerts.
In 1991 Dunwich took part in the Arezzo Wave international festival, as a new promising band along with many other renowed artists, and gaining the opportunity for some television ecposure through the Videomusic network.
The encounter with Katya Sanna in 1992 led to the formation of Dunwich as a trio of artists - Katya being part of the project until 1999.
This was the startng point from which the trilogy was conceived, a project that through many mediums – literature, painting, photography, sculpture slowly took form. The basic Dunwich trio, stable from 1992 to 1999, was supported by 40 other guest musicians who contributed through their art and knowledge of over 35 musical instruments, ancient and modern. Celtic atmospheres, symphonic orchestration, and epic-gothic memories taken from the darkest heavy-metal.
This represents the true discographic debut for Dunwich. Starting with the CD/LP "Sul Monte é il tuono" (Black Widow, 1994), through "Il chiarore sorge due volte" (Pick Up, 1995) and ending with "L'eterna eclissi di ghiaccio" ("Eternal eclipse of frost", Rising Sun, 1999).
After years of idleness, the encounter with Roberto Fasciani in 2002 was the first sign that the journey was to be resumed. Then, with the involvement of Francesca Naccarelli - Elayne - in 2004, Dunwich finally reverts to the status of an active and lively project. So a year later, in 2005, after publishing a demo that strenghtened the newborn empathy of the band, Dunwich started working on the new album. Luca Iovieno's energetic contribution helped stabilize the new course of the project.
The journey had started again, and the compulsory choice was the path of self-production. The task seemed almost impossible, and in the end it took two years to complete "Heilagmanoth"; again we've invited 26 guest musicians to perform in the recording session, each representing a different musical genre. The musical journey in Heilagmanoth follows the path of the previous recordings, with an acoustic/medieval/folk setting striving towards a gothic and dark atmosphere. Elayne's absorbing themes grace the album with pagan, historical and hermetic taste, typical of a culture that may be aspleep, but has not been forgotten, and inject the music with enthralling and charming vocals.
"The release of Heilagmanoth, after it long journey of self-production, has been positively acclaimed, as you can read in the reviews section.
Claudio Nigris and Francesca Naccarelli are now working on the next Dunwich studio album, whose recording sessions are scheduled at the beginning of 2010.
Meanwhile Dunwich will also take part in the project "The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe - a syNphonic collection" by Finnish Colossus, with the track "The Oblong Box", inspired by the tale of the great Poe
As usual the new recordings will feature many special guests with varying musical backgrounds."
Corrent Dunwich's line-up:
•Claudio Nigris - keyboards and composition
•Francesca "Elayne" Naccarelli - vocals and lyrics
