Interview: Silvern (Video/Audio)

Hailing from Ukraine, Silvern are a black metal band who released their debut full-length album ‘Stardust Sermons’ via Vendetta Records on September 6th, 2024. We spoke to Silvern about the creative experience and the journey to this point. We look at the highs and lows, how the Russian invasion of their country has affected them, the challenges they faced because of this and more, what helped shape the record, black metal demands, as well as so much more.

It’s been a challenging journey to release, with multiple postponements due to the full-scale aggression from Russia, but the album has finally seen the light of day.

gay fairies coming in clutch for pride month 🌈 (I have more btw)

So this character is supposed to represent being carefree; no responsibilities, no school, no taxes, no gender roles, basically the time of your life. My entire fairyverse (one of my many unfinished concepts) is kinda like that; an escape from the stress of daily life. I just don't draw a lot of art for it :/

got somewhat inspired by De Terra by Hellenite, you should go read it it's poggers

also sorry I disappeared haha :')

Oh my god lmao

To say that Wind is confused would be an understatement.

“Lovely to meet you,” one the the many Princess Zeldas chirps. She is the smallest of the princesses, about Wind’s height, and she is clad in a white and pink dress, her strawberry blonde hair tied back with a big red bow. Her gloved hands are clasped around another Zelda’s hands—this one sporting a purple and white dress. She is the only brunette, and she wears her hair in an elegant braid. “What is your name? Where do you hail from?” the smaller princess asks sweetly, a serene expression painted on her face.

“My name is Zelda,” the brunette replies, just as sweetly, “and I hail from Hyrule.”

“Oh, how lovely!” The smallest princess exclaims, giving the brunette’s hands one more squeeze before letting go. She moves on to a different princess, this one with hair like sunshine and wearing a bright pink dress. She does not appear as regal as the others, but she still radiates elegance as her and the smallest princess clasp hands and greet each other.

“Lovely to meet you! What is your name? Where do you hail from?”

“My name is Zelda, and I hail from Hyrule.”

“How lovely!”

Wind leans to the side, lightly bumping his shoulder to Legend’s to get his attention. His fellow hero glances at Wind with a raised eyebrow.

“Should we…?” Wind starts to ask, only for Legend to shake his head.

“No.” He turns back to face the group of princesses. “Let them get it out of their system.”

One of the princesses—this one dressed in travelers clothes with short blonde hair—approaches Tetra, who had been standing on the edge of the group with her arms crossed. Tetra sticks out like a sore thumb, what with all the pirate gear and all, but it does not seem to deter the other princess.

She holds out her hand with a smile, waiting for Wind’s captain to take it.

“Lovely to meet you,” she says as Tetra complies. It looks odd to see Tetra holding anything with such a gentle disposition. She’s always preferred strong handshakes or punches to shoulders. Even now, Tetra gazes at the other princess with big blue eyes, her face the picture of innocence. “What is your name?” the other princess asks. “Where do you hail from?”

Wind waits with bated breath. Here it comes. She’s about to outdo all of them with her claim to fame, and Wind is ready to jump in and show her his support.

But then Tetra’s eyes flick over to meet his, and she winks.

“My name is Zelda,” she answers as all of the breath leaves Wind’s lungs. “And I hail from Hyrule.”

“Oh, how lovely!”

She’s doing this on purpose, Wind realizes. They all are.

There’s this one TikTok I love where there’s like, a lot of women with a filter that makes them look all exactly the same, and they go around asking each other “hello what’s your name and where are you from?”

and they all say “hello, my name is Wendy and I’m from Dronfield” and then they all reply with “how lovely!”

anyway, that’s how I imagine the Zeldas meeting each other

New dad Astarion who is about to see his newborn child for the first time.

Of course, he expects his child to be the personification of serene beauty and divine grace. Them to have their father’s silken silvern locks, his immaculately chiselled features—the artwork perfected by Tav’s wonderful watercolour eyes…

And then he actually sees the child and—well—everybody assures him that, yes, Astarion, all babies look like that barely a half hour after birth…

He kind of has to take that at face value because he hasn’t seen an awful lot of newborns in his lifetime.

But it would’ve been nice if someone had told him that newborns happen to look like shrivelled potatoes, because he’s really, really trying to not let his bewilderment show. 

Astarion swallows. 

Tav’s beautiful eyes are watching him, waiting for a reaction—an enthusiastic one, no less. 

Maybe Tav will believe that he’s overcome with emotions at seeing his firstborn child? 

“Oh my, darling, I’m…speechless,” is all he can choke out, though, being rather proud that it’s at least not a lie. 

To his luck, Tav only nods dreamily, her full attention back on the odd little bundle in her arms.

“Isn’t she perfect?”

Yes, perfectly hideous. 

Astarion only hums in a way of reply.

That—his daughter, he supposes—is with no doubt one of the ugliest things he’s ever seen, but he has a feeling that his honesty wouldn’t be appreciated after Tav laboured for hours to give birth to this…potato-baby.

“Come, hold her, Astarion,” Tav says, then, bidding him to sit next to her on the bed.

The mattress shifts under Astarion’s weight and he obediently holds his arms out so that Tav can gently place the sleeping child against his chest.

Now that Astarion can take a better look, he can confirm that his daughter’s hair is of an indefinable colour and that her features are neither his nor Tav’s, plain as can be. Surely it won’t stay like that?

He and Tav are so ridiculously beautiful, their child can only be drop-dead gorgeous, right?

Astarion’s stomach drops indeed when, suddenly, something occurs to him. 

Oh dear, what if it’s his fault? He has no recollection of his family whatsoever; it’s very much possible that he and his immaculate looks are the exception in his lineage, and that he’s passed on only those mysterious less-than-perfect genes…Tav, as per usual, can’t be the issue!

Astarion is still catastrophizing when the bundle in his arms begins to stir.

All of a sudden, gold-speckled pale green eyes are looking up at him as if to ask what the fuck this weirdo’s problem might be. 

“Oh,” the weirdo in question exclaims at once. “Darling, look, she has your eyes!”

Tav, hugging him from behind, rests her chin on his shoulder, so she can watch as Astarion’s finger tenderly strokes their baby’s chubby cheek.

Their daughter also has, as it turns out, ten fingers and toes, a cute little nose and a hungry mouth—everything that’s supposed to be there is there, and it seems to be working fine, too—which is a huge relief. 

And aren’t those the tiniest pointy ears Astarion has ever seen? Let alone the unexpectedly strong fingers grasping at his!

Astarion, worries forgotten in a heartbeat, can’t help but smile at the baby in his arms. 

She is perfect, after all. 

Tav, face hidden in the crook of his neck, begins to tremble against his back. 

For a second, Astarion thinks she’s crying but then her laughter fills the chamber. It takes her a good moment to articulate whatever it is she finds so very funny.

“She'll grow out of it, you know?” Tav giggles in between her fits of laughter. 

Astarion stiffens. “Of what?”

“The turnip look. That’s what you’ve been worrying about the whole time, haven't you?”

“I was leaning more towards potatoes—but yes, I might’ve been a little worried about that,” Astarion admits sheepishly, although a grin is already tugging at his lips.  

Regaining her composure, Tav reaches over Astarion’s shoulder, her hand joining his as they get to know their child.

“Give it a couple of days and she will look like your proper little elf—beautiful just like her father.”

A content sigh leaves Astarion’s lips, right before he presses them against Tav’s temple.

“That’s the second best news I’ve heard today, my heart, truly.”

Album Review: Silvern - Stardust Sermons (Vendetta Records)

Showcasing a raw and primitive style of black metal enhanced by bleak atmosphere, Silvern’s debut album has arrived and with it comes billowing darkness.

Silvern, a black metal band from Ukraine, is set to release their debut album, ‘Stardust Sermons’, on September 6th, 2024, via Vendetta Records. A journey that has been significantly challenging, with multiple postponements due to the full-scale aggression from Russia. The album is a conceptual journey that follows a faceless character and explores how the character’s perception of reality shifts…

[catherine-bolt]

i think that if Silvern tried to sneak Cooper into Bol'Thole, the end result would be something along the lines of that one Megamind scene

you know the one

[silvern-stash]

Thinking about magic being apart of a being's microbiome

Bleach and other disinfectants makes things mundane

Eating fermented foods would be like a mana potion

Mages washing with more gentle cleansers like clay and vinegar

Ruminants are magically strong and complex

You cultivate your mana like a garden

You can change your mana by changing your diet and lifestyle

Self care is important to be magically strong and resilient
