Review -" Le Fredde Ali dell'Inverno "Blood of Winter

Artist: Winter Blood
Style: Ambient
name of the phonogram: Le Fredde Ali dell'Inverno
Time: about 47 minutes

first La Monotonia della Neve
second Nel Cuore del Bosco - Iniziazione
third Le Fredde Ali dell'Inverno

"Winter Blood" is the name of a grandiose ambient project from Italy. The master himself contacted me and asked me a review of the debut album "Le Ali Fredde dell'Inverno" to write - of course I agreed immediately one!

reason for my quick reaction is mainly the songs that are heard at the Winter Blood-Myspace, I also have the CD cover and logo very convinced. Was drawn on the cover (or the other illustrations in the booklet properly shaped) by the way, "Elenora Bardi, a friend of the musician, the photos of the mighty mountains, however, he shot himself.

As I said, but the booklet of their release brings the first plus points! But what is most important is, of course the music! I have sufficiently dealt with this publication and they are well rehearsed in the appropriate atmosphere, before I am writing the review had begun. Well said
more music:
There are many different genres of ambient music. Some of them employ more of the atmosphere, while others put more on variety. - Definitely is crucial for the Blood winter atmosphere!
Since it is extremely difficult reviewn to meet an ambient work, I will describe the CD as a whole and not as usual dismember the disk into individual songs!

As before mentioned, I found equal pleasure in the music of the Italian, as I look at the promising Myspace Compilation sounded. I must say as an old ambient-trailer that ambient for me above all a Music of the emotions and the rest, and those emotions, which caused the music of Blood winter with me, were certainly a positive nature!
The atmospheric synthesizer sounds draw the listener into a stress-free, atmospheric world, beyond the everyday and the stress of an encounter daily. When listening to the sounds that exude a certain kind of eternal satisfaction, it seems to me as if I was even the eagle that flies over the mighty Alps, the lord of the skies, glides through the clouds and all about looking from above, or a Wolf, who wanders alone through the endless barren mountains, away from humanity and the unbearable noise.
The smooth, gentle sounds tell stories of mountains, lakes and pristine quiet nature as one finds them in reality, unfortunately, only rarely.
The matching pictures in the booklet also tempted to dream and inspire the imagination. Who
Ambient Vinterriket groups such as gas or not is unknown, which determines know what I mean!

Musically the work can not be described in more detail, as I said is Ambient very expressive, albeit more simple music.
me the work "Le Fredde dell'Inverno Ali" has very overwhelmed! It's been an honor to describe this CD. The world of Ambient is great, but I can actually only a few groups of this genre so much as convince Winter Blood. So perfect
seem like the work but ... it is a criticism, however: it is not what everyone! Especially people who have no patience and are very anxious to be with the CD in general not be pleased.

What friends of Vinterriket and similar projects, nature lovers and meditative music as well as admirer of the final award concerning the pagan nature ... I advise you one thing: you bought this brilliant CD!

Review -" By night thoughts "of ritual


Artist:
Rite Style: Black Metal
name of the Media: From nocturnal thoughts
Running time: 22 minutes

first Moonrise
second Shrouded in snow and starlight ...
third The fourth night of occult rites
Walking through the prison of my ego's already

few months ago, I had the German band rite their latest demo "From night thoughts" to come.
When I took the packet counter and opened it, I was particularly impressed by the elaborate packaging of the tape: see in a black paper envelope on which the logo is rite ... A very original idea, have to hand it to them!

Since the cover of the work looked very promising, I was full of anticipation and curiosity, what kind of musical art of music it may be, for this work.
I the tape loaded in the tape recorder and listened to the harsh tones of the group ...

The cry of a crow announce at the beginning of a dark and eerie world of the occult, which enters the listener through this work ...
is soon silenced the gekrähe, take possession of the profound melancholy soul of the listener - a soft and deplorable Gitarrengespiele provides tilting the mood straight into desolation.
my taste that this is in no way be negative ... it is rather a very thoughtful and magical atmosphere that is being laid on the day.

After the end of the intro "Moonrise," immerses the listener in an even much more pronounced melancholic atmosphere. The distorted electric guitar is accompanied by rapid drums, which therefore crackles at a rate such that it could be confused with a smooth anti-aircraft gun! Fortunately
is in this song but rather the dramatic melody in the foreground, rather than the monotonous bludgeoned the drums.
be the melodic guitar work accompanied by the painful Death of the singer screaming "spirit". Some very impressive parts, the occult preaching of the singer, however, underscored by a clean-singing, and that voice is expressed in the case rather than as a language in this song and sounds more like an ominous occurrence prayer. This song, "Wrapped in snow and starlight ..." is recommended by the way very much, for me personally it is the favorite on this record!

with a rather dull percussion sound to announce the third track on the demo. "The night of occult rites," is alone with the title again the fascination of the three Bavaria for occult and magic expressed.
testimony also included the text of the song of the occult thought.
Here is a passage that I like particularly well:
"anthem of the night,
anthem of the woods,
anthem of the moon,
song of the spirits,
the night occult rites"
Back to Sound:
brettert As usual, the drums Mabrugh meaning of mercy and leaves no chance to exercise more silence. Surprisingly, this book contains in comparison to the previous and rocking parts, but mainly to rule the dramatic melodies from the guitar. Other
is also very striking: the screams
of mind have in the 3rd Song (at least in some places) are more likely in a low and high screeching turns. Some parts are also underlined by rocking loud grunting and lush tortured voice, which merges into a kind of infernal laughter.
After the brilliant passage that has already been cited earlier, it ends on track already.

with thematically very well fitting, sheet-like ambient sounds, and something I would call a "drip noise," begins the last track on the tape ... "Walking through the dungeons of my I's.
Not only the title of this song is thought-provoking. The guitar sounds pathetic with more sluggish, tactful drums, this time to be accompanied in part by a hymenartigen Clean vocals and pull the listener away into a dreamy mental absence.
After a long captivity in this spell, all the instruments fall silent.
only a piano can be heard. Ghostly heard the strumming and the protagonist appears in the dungeons described downright mental anguish suffered by.
The emergence of the one part of the desperate cries and the other hand, the quiet, dark Krächzstimme is apparently a kind of schizophrenia symbolizes.
The end of the song just described is very scary and presents a likely Dialogue between the protagonist and his second "I". Finally, to compare
the musical nature of this demo on the whole: the music reminds me in part to Burzum, Gorgoroth and on some old plant.

In the end, I must say that I was convinced the work very much!
Apart from the musical talent of this band (for a demo more than clean) should be appreciated the occult themes of the demo "From night thinking" very. The music and lyrics by
excited mood generated (as has often stressed) to much to think about!
this demo tape I can definitely recommend, if you have the opportunity - get hold of a copy and look for upcoming releases of the band rite!

Review -" Gondolyn "by Minhyriath


Artist: Minhyriath
Style: Folk Metal
name of the phonogram: Gondolyn
Running time: 45 minutes

first Intro
second Shylob
third Lothloryen
4th Escaroth
5th Balrox
6th Ithylien
7th Valynor
8th Gondolyn
9th Turyn
10th Telperyon and Laurelyn

The Swiss band Minhyriath comes from a relatively new genre of metal ...
course, it was many years ago, the metal bands are thematically in some songs or albums to the mighty epic "The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien-related books have (For example, Isengard, Burzum etc ...).
But for a short time it seems to be a wave of bands that infuse their music almost exclusively in this issue! Yes, one of this sub-genre could almost be described as "Tolkien metal" if it is not already the case ...
Whatever! Purely from the musical variety here, it is estimated that this means "Tolkien metal" bands "separate but mostly.
Minhyriath is very strongly oriented towards Folk Metal.
"Magic, medieval sounds caused by a mixture of folk and rock instruments and a deep voice, the more death metal reminiscent of ... "Thus one could define the musical content of this band!

Here I will but right now the new album "Gondolyn" more closely under the microscope ... I
For these ten tracks containing disc earlier this year by the Swiss label Black Tower Productions. In this case, therefore, also a thanks to the generous label is spelled out!
The cover of the CD "Gondolyn" shows a 3-dimensional designed landscape in the midst of a rune stone is visible. run on the edge of the CD curled lettering (Elvish characters when I'm not mistaken) ... so it is already in the design of the CD already know from which thematic area is Minhyriath.
The name of the CD called Elvish way a city of Middle-earth.

Now I'm even more of "musical analysis" of the album ...
The intro begins with a shrill tone, which becomes a mixture of bagpipe tunes and dramatic drumming. The deep voice, which occurs almost preaching contributes much to the development of a mystical atmosphere!
has scarcely died away, the harmonic intro slow start even the first epic track "Shylob. It sounded like folk music Tones in a rather low speed, accompanied by the deep guitar, the rhythmic drums and the deep voice continued.
As a hymn rings out these titles and if he would not hurt a bit more variety, it still builds on a very "middle earth-worthy" sentiment!

varied essential and sometimes faster turn sounds of the 3rd Entitled "Lothloryen" (you just one of the "Lord of the Rings" movies seen or read one of the books have to know how come on this title).
to
Lastly I turn to yet another song on the CD: "Ithilyen.
"Ithilyen" is a very quiet and slow songs. The song is a thoroughly able to rely on nature-loving mood.
The internals of very folk-heavy percussion, flute and soft sounds, which support the usual instrumental to be exceptional in this song sometimes accompanied by a mystical whisper. At the sound of this quiet song, you may well come to dream ... of Elvish cities and magical nature, as Tolkien himself may have once dreamed of when he wrote his work ...

ultimately, I must say that I like the album is good, however, it is very mood dependent, ie: you can not always and everywhere ! Hear
A little variety would not hurt to the phonogram, but perhaps doing so in the following publications for something.

Some Lord of the Rings fans the calm folk metal over are not as inclined to be to bow to this band well! However, people were warned not to apply the two criteria ... for this album could easily lead to boredom!
