Review: Red Moon Architect – Return of the Black Butterflies

0
Od on English

A snowflake silently falling from the sky, glimmering in the light of the misty winter morning, lands on the snow, the white blanket burying the life. A sneaky intro let more snowflakes glitter in the promise of the spring, which isn’t coming, for we’re in the north where the winter lasts much longer. in the low layers of the earth, the music awakens comes out of the mist and look up to the sky just before the sunrise. The moon still shines up there and the red glimmer on the horizon is not a good sign. This winter shall never…

Review: Fjoergyn – Lvcifer Es

0
Od on English

In 2003, Stephan Löscher (or just Stephan L) founded a solo project, which has turned into an avantgarde-black metal band called Fjoergyn. The former one man’s band now composes of six brilliant musicians. Fjoergyn released a new album called ‘Lvcifer Es’ in February and, following the example of previous full-length albums, even this one is complicated, complex, colourful and ambiguous. Someone who had expected the traditional raw black metal or the stylish symphonic darkness escalating into predictable heroic motifs would be a bit disappointed, for Fjoergyn are masters of not fitting any genre category sufficiently. Their genre is… Fjoergyn. Homunculus…

Review: Kaunis Kuolematon – Vapaus

0
Od on English

A reviewer shouldn’t smile. Definitely not when the music is sad. He shouldn’t feel satisfied by the work of others. Quite the contrary, he should pull the carpet underneath it, because that is, after all, the reviewer’s purpose. Moreover, the reviewer knowing what he was going to write about the expected album and what the rating was going to be, could indeed pick to pieces anything that wouldn’t fit his concept. Kaunis Kuolematon, those beautiful immortals, are a kind of rarity, waiting yet to be discovered by Czech listeners. One reason for this might be, that this band has one…

Review: Warbringer – Voe to the Vanquished

0
Od on English

The Californian band called Warbringer is a band that is slowly getting known by the metal fans. Throughout the time their style has been formed and changed. On their first album they had tried too much to be like the old thrash legends, which does not really suit me. But in the last few years they have found their own way to combine the old school thrash with the modern one, and that aroused my interest. Moreover, as the title of the band is telling us, their music is military themed which makes them more identifying. And we can definitely…

Review: Damnation Plan – Reality Illusion

0
Od on English

When I say Espoo, somebody might be completely lost. When I say the lake of Bodom, an ordinary person could think of the old headlines of the news full of terror. A true metal lover should think of a short, skinny guy holding a guitar, behind whose back stands a dark figure of the reaper. Twenty years has passed since the day when Alexi Laiho stood on the stage for the first time, screaming out his anger and showing who is the rebel here. And Finnish melodeath has changed quite a bit since those days. It changed just like the…

Review: Wolfheart- Tyhjyys

0
Od on English

It might be dangerous to start a review with a statement that a band reached the highest possible peak of its career. Especially if the discussed band is Wolfheart. The danger is in two factors. The first one is that the reader doesn’t need to know anything else because the fact, that the album is good, was said right in the beginning. The second factor is even trickier because Tuomas Saukkonen, a founder and a frontman of Wolfheart has sort of a bad habit. When he feels, he reached the peak, he has a tendency to bury the successful project…

Interview: Tuomas Saukkonen (Wolfheart) for Obscuro.cz

0
Od on English

Wolfheart is a Finnish metal band founded by Tuomas Saukkonen in 2013. It has been a success from the very first single ‘The Hunt’. The band found its fans quickly, and not only in Finland, but around the world as well. Wolfheart came to Prague for the first time and I have a feeling that the number of their fans here rapidly increased. Not only because Wolfheart are big players, who sparkles with excellent melodic ideas, but also because they are bearers of the Finnish melodeth’s style. They represent all that one expects of it, that is brilliant instrumentalists, a…

Review: Glare of the Sun – Soil

0
Od on English

The dim light of the sun above the cold land… this could be a definition of Glare of the Sun’s work. It is a highly-sophisticated project floating on the doom sea with ambient waves and rare sharp rocks. The music is so brilliant, it tempts even a reviewer, otherwise sparkling with the charm of awkward and shallow humour, to a cultivated language. Glare of the Sun is built on perfect quality sound and atmospheric attractivity of seductive curves of musical motifs. It’s a very young band founded in 2013. However, fear of listening to some experiment of people who has…
