Völur & Cares – Breathless Spirit Review
By Twelve
“Avant-garde doom metal from Canada. Do I really need to say more to pique your interest?” So said I a little under five years ago, closing out my Things You Might Have Missed feature for Völur’s Death Cult. The Toronto-based project launched itself to the top of my end-of-year list in 2020, owing to their expert fusion of an impressive blend of sounds and genres primarily rooted in doom metal. Wielding the violin like a sledgehammer, Death Cult featured intelligent, clever compositions that really impressed me in 2020. Now, at last, they’re back for their fourth full-length, Breathless Spirit, with one key change: a collaboration with Cares—UK/Canadian producer James Beardmore—whose influence aims to transcend an already-impressive trio to Valhallan heights. However do they fare?
But first, a correction: in reviewing Death Cult, I noted that “the guitars do not dominate, nor do they crush the listener; instead, they unsettle, distort, and act as anchor for the vocals and electric violins that make up the true meat of the music.” Völur has no guitarist—only Lucas Gadke (Blood Ceremony), who plays bass (in addition to vocals and piano). The electric violins are indeed the “true meat of the music;” Völur create their uniquely haunting sound through intense distortion on Laura Bates’s violin and viola,1 giving them a surprisingly heavy metal basis to work with—certainly I’d never have thought there’s no guitar in the blackened doom mania that is “Windbourne Sorcery II,” and I’m still not 100% sure I believe it. Previously, I compared the group to a gloomy “Apocapyse Orchestra meets King Goat” project, but, in hindsight, Apocalyptica might have been a better base point to use.
Realistically, though, none of that matters because Völur is unique in too many ways to build adequate comparisons, and Cares has only strengthened that position. Where Death Cult emphasized the heavier, doom metal basis of Völur’s material, Breathless Spirit leans more classical, a change that highlights the incredible range of the music, passing also through doom metal, black metal, folk, jazz, and drone along the way—and all of it done with “just” a violinist, bassist, and drummer (Justin Ruppel). What’s extra interesting (on an already very interesting record) is that Cares contributes piano, synthesizers, theremin, and textures. His production adds layer upon layer of grimy, modern darkness that contributes heavily to the metal feel of Breathless Spirit. It is, put simply, extremely experimental. It also works magnificently.
From the classically-inspired2 “Hearth,” Breathless Spirit’s instrumental intro whose motifs just keep reappearing, to the towering doom metal conclusion of “Death in Solitude,” Völur are as engaging as they are unpredictable. I mentioned that “Windbourne Sorcery II” has the album’s blackened highlight, with Bates’s utterly unhinged shrieks atop a steady alarm of urgency from her violin. That same song has an almost funeral buildup, a chilling passage I compare favorably with Bell Witch’s Mirror Reaper3. The title track is the highlight for me; Gadke’s roars are front and center, and all of his vocals have depth and command to them, recalling Barren Earth’s On Lonely Towers.4 Guest vocals from Amy Bowles (ex-Hollow Earth) are a fantastic counter to his baritone cleans, and the brief improvizations a third of the way in is chaotic and delightful. You can dance to the haunting middle section, but it ends on a sense of heavy, epic urgency. Whatever style they try, Völur & Cares can’t help but create something beautiful. Much credit also belongs to Ruppel, whose measured drumming keeps Breathless Spirit grounded in a steady, doom-laden theme that serves it well.
I’ve run out of words, but there’s so much more to say. Breathless Spirit is a hard album to describe with any level of brevity. It explores worlds I’ve only hinted at here, and is much stronger than the sum of its parts. It’s not perfect—”On Drangey” is perhaps a touch too long for my preferences—but it hardly has to be. Breathless Spirit should enshrine Völur and Cares as experts in the experimental. Equal parts beautiful, haunting, and dark, Breathless Spirit defies my vocabulary—you simply must listen for yourself.

The fascination with the notion of surviving dinosaurs in a hollow Earth stems from the combination of two long-standing theories: the hollow Earth hypothesis and the survival of non-avian dinosaurs. #hollowearth #dinosaurs https://connectparanormal.net/2025/04/21/dinosaurs-and-hollow-earth-myths-and-realities/

Maybe the reason Trump wants so badly to acquire Canada or Greenland is that he figured out that nazis are supposed to look for the entrance to the hollow earth, somewhere at the north pole.

The #HollowEarth bits of Godzilla vs. Kong aren't as cool as I'd hoped, but it still makes me want to run some sort of #SavageWorlds / Hollow Earth campaign.
And I have to say that Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV+ is great, and provides the connective tissue and character building that the movies lacked.

I freely admit, I have a soft spot for #SkullIsland as a place of mystery, wonder, and horror.
I loved Peter Jackson's take on the island because it was so prehistoric - Kong facing off against T-Rex's was epic.
The #Monsterverse though, gives us Kong, equally huge monsters, and hints of the #hollowearth
It makes me want to go there ... if only in role-playing games. :) #TTRPG

Attention, everyone! We have some exciting news to share with you today. Recent scientific research has revealed that the Hollow Earth theory is indeed real. Yes, you read that right, and no, this is not a conspiracy theory.
For centuries, scientists and explorers have been fascinated by the concept of a hollow Earth. According to the theory, the Earth is not a solid ball, but instead has a hollow interior with an inner sun, an ocean, and possibly even its own ecosystem. This idea has been dismissed as a myth by mainstream science for many years. However, recent evidence and research have given us reason to believe that it might just be true.
While this discovery may come as a shock to many of you, we can assure you that it has been thoroughly researched and verified by our team of expert scientists. We are now working diligently to explore and map the inner world of our planet and discover what other secrets it may hold.
We understand that this revelation may challenge long-held beliefs and raise many questions. We want to assure you that we are committed to sharing as much information as possible as we continue to explore and learn more about the Hollow Earth. We encourage everyone to keep an open mind and stay tuned for updates as our research progresses.
This discovery has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the world and how we interact with it. It's an exciting time, and we're thrilled to be at the forefront of this groundbreaking research.

I would tell her the "big secret" that Infosec is keeping from everyone:
The #HollowEarth does not in fact contain #Dinosaur people . . . it contains millions of discarded "Alternative CPU Architecture" workstations discarded over the last 50 years
#HackThePlanet is shorthand for the programmer equivalent of "Unified Theory of Everything"
The contest to see who can write a universal OS + network stack that finally gets them all running together, like a giant #BeowolfCluster
