SOWULO is the visionary project of Dutch composer and multi-instrumentalist Faber Horbach, whose immersive soundscapes draw deeply from ancient Northern European spirituality and the cyclical rhythms of nature. Using historical instruments and Anglo-Saxon lyrics, SOWULO invites listeners into a space of reflection, reverence, and ritual. On ‘Niht’ (“Night”), SOWULO journeys into the sacred darkness - the realm of the subconscious, mourning, and inner stillness. Created in the wake of personal loss, the album embraces the night as a teacher and the moon as a guide. Songs like “Asteorfan” (“to die”) and “Sol ond Mani” (“sun and moon”) are woven from grief, mythology, and transformation, using broken instruments and primal vocals to confront ego death and the void left by lost light. “Monaþblod” (“moon blood”) channels feminine wisdom, menstruation, and lunar rhythm through Micky Huijsmans’ powerful, raw vocal compositions. With cinematic depth and ritualistic force, ‘Niht’ becomes a spiritual act of surrender.
