Following successful collaborations with Peter Hammill and Steve Hogarthon, Isildurs Bane join forces with Jinian Wilde (David Cross Band). 
 
Containing stirring themes, cinematic landscapes, hymnal reveries and haunting, beautiful melodies, The Pearl of Ever Changing Shell finds IB at its most contemplative and broadly deals with the notion of change (the changing world around us as well as the change that springs from within).
