Sunwar the Dead

by Elend

supported by

Grimmrobe Reminiscent of late Scott Walker material, Elend is ominously beautiful and eschatological in scope.

Essential. Favorite track: A Song of Ashes.

Entleiber Nothing compares. Whenever emptiness and indifference might consume you and you feel like all is said and done and there is nothing new to discover, that art is pointless and the world has nothing to offer, Elend prove you wrong. Life is worth living just to listen to this music and savour what it evokes. Favorite track: Ares in Their Eyes.

Jordan Vauvert Deuxième partie du Cycle des Vents avec Sunwar the Dead. Alors qu'Ulysse, à jamais maudit par Poseidon, erre sur les flots, une guerre sanglante se déclenche sur terre.
Sunwar the Dead est beaucoup plus cinématographique que son prédécesseur. Le chant, expressif, s'adapte à la sauvagerie des batailles (par exemple sur "Sunwar the Dead"). L'orchestre arrive même à imiter le son d'un bateau pris dans la tempête sur "The Hemlock Sea". Un peu moins subtil que Winds Devouring Men, mais très bon ! Favorite track: The Hemlock Sea.

Algleymi
by Misþyrming

supported by 14 fans who also own “Sunwar the Dead”

Tout est une question de perspective. En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
