Winds Devouring Men

by Elend

supported by

Entleiber Vision is all that matters and this music is visionary and deeply emotive. Such delicateness and grandeur … Feeling without end, unexpected turns, sinister ecstasy, stunning suspense, gorgeous climaxes.
I consider this album a brother of »Nouveau Gloaming« by <code>, just much more cineastic. There's a similar dramatic quality to the vocals. Absolutely beautiful male voices. Favorite track: The Poisonous Eye.

Jordan Vauvert Et après l'effroyable The Umbersun, le Cycle des Vents commence avec Winds Devouring Men. Abandonnant les hurlements, Elend se cache derrière une fausse accessibilité dans le premier tiers de l'album, avec le chant clair, la musique néo-classique et les thèmes romantiques. Mais progressivement, subtilement, Elend nous fait aller vers le point de non retour, notamment avec le dissonant et grinçant titre éponyme, qui marque l'entrée dans une errance éternelle sur la mer. Plus jamais d'Ithaque... Favorite track: The Plain Masks of Daylight.

Luciferian Revolution Elend is unsurpassed. The most magical and enchanting music to ever grace the Earth. Favorite track: Charis.

Roccotroco Me encanta esa influencia de Dead Can Dance.
Una maravilla después del Officium Tenebrarum. Favorite track: Worn Out with Dreams.

Algleymi
by Misþyrming

supported by 20 fans who also own “Winds Devouring Men”

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

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 15 fans who also own “Winds Devouring Men”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
