Sylfaera the Fair

The Circle Music

2026

 

Italian neoclassical and darkwave legends Ataraxia have released their 30th studio album, “Sylfaera the Fair” on 21 May 2026 via The Circle Music. This landmark release will be the grand finale of the trilogy that started with "Pomegranate" in 2022. 

 

This is my first experience listening to Ataraxia. And to call it anything else is a lie. It’s an experience. Beautifully haunting folk music. The drums, pipes, bells, etc is a ritual of the spirit. If I had to recommend a similar band, I would go with Heilung.

 

It’s something that pulls at your spirit. But this can be a very decisive thing. This music isn’t for everyone and that’s okay. This music begs for an audience. Begs for entrancement.

 

Seriously. Play this at night, under the stars, surrounded by trees and earth. It’ll move you.
