The fourth long-awaited album from a Russian one-man-band Tears Of Mankind.
As always, the band presents diverse material which not focuses at some exact style, but skillfully fuses various directions basing on dark metal and doom death metal. The new project work “Memoria” can be considered as a conceptual album whose tracks are united by the idea of personal experience and memories connected with it. The album is divided into two essential parts: the first one presents heavier material with English lyrics while the second one is more lyric and features Russian texts and more atmospheric music which, nevertheless, stays in the frames of metal style. The strongest and most essential features of the album are typical for Tears of Mankind sensuality and melodies.
Tracklist:
1. Intro
2. In The Embrace Of Eternal Sunshine
3. Deadly Desire
4. Passion Blackfathom Deeps
5. Under The Great Dome
6. So Long And So Recently
7. Pamyat’
8. Mayatnik
9. Requiem
10. Wino Pamyaty
The second album from a Russian band Septic mind. “The True Call” consists of three long tracks and continues the evolution of musical ideas established at their previous album, “The Beginning”. The musicians still stand at positions of extremal doom metal, but they are moving away from the influence of Esoteric forming their own sound. This time Septic Mind music with typical cosmic psychedelic interludes features elements of sludge doom metal. “The True Call” is the next chapter of the gloomy and insane tale of Septic Mind covered with cold, despair and misanthropy.
Tracklist:
1. The True Call
2. Doomed To Sin
3. Planet Is Sick
The debut album of Russian two-man melodic doom / death metal band SYNKLETOS, containing plenty of heavy guitar riffs, long-winded solos, atmospheric keys, guttural growls and deep clean vocals, generously blended with some beautiful new age interludes.
The ideological basis of this piece is the concept of ‘Enlightened Doom’ inspired by the images of Daniil Andreev’s metaphilosophical treatise ‘Rose of the World’. Contemplation, Endless Road and Reincarnation – these are the basic drivers of the whole project.
The album is aimed not only at old school doom metal fans, but as well at those who are simply in love with beautiful and soul-inspired melodies, which are abundant in this 42-minute release.
The sound quality is guaranteed by the renowned Russian metal sound producer Igor ‘KIV’ Korolyov, who has worked with such titans of domestic metal-scene as Butterfly Temple, Nevid’, Ashen Light, Stigmatic Chorus, Izmoroz’, Kartikeya, Everlost, Mafia, Molecul, Put’ Solntsa and many others.
The album offers a wide range of musical tones – from light sadness to primordial aggression, from quiet serenity and contemplation to cries of despair. The band invites the listener on a journey into their own world of emotions, spiritual search and silent wisdom.
The fifth, conceptual album of the Ukranian band Raventale has without doubt become the most sophisticated, sensual and mature work of the band. «Bringer Of Heartsore» is also the most atmospheric one of all the works by the project of the talented musician Astaroth who succeeded to express nostalgic autumn mood and beauty of nature by means of verses of famous poet of Silver Age Alexander Blok which provided more depth to the album concept. The musical part, as always, features metamorphoses as the musician follows his rule to introduce changes to every following album. The compositions feature brilliant solo guitar parts associated with classical progressive rock and dramatic acoustic guitar instrumentals. The CD is issued as a limited edition digipack, and its booklet includes fragments of the canvases by greatest Russian painters of 19th century: I. Aivasovsky and I. Levitan delivering additional strokes to the mood of Raventale music.
Tracklist:
1. Anything Is Void
2. Twilight, The Vernal Dusk
3. These Days Of Sorrow
