In sfarsit ceva care sa ma unga la suflet! Nu neaparat ca auditie ci ca mod de concepere si interpretare! De inspiratie nici nu mai vorbesc! Orchestration Black Metal! Ce poate sa fie mai serios decat o colaborare a catorva tineri muzicieni ahtiati de faze Metal extreme cu orchestre simfonice sau coruri clasice profesioniste! Chiar daca acest lucru nu este inedit in scena noastra, acest album are un farmec aparte, nota muzicii clasice, chiar simfonice cantarind mult in economia sunetului TVANGESTE.

Daca albumul de debut insista si pe secvente Epic Doom Death Metal, noul material se focuseaza doar pe Black Metal-ul bombastic, cu multa atmosfera si ecouri Epice dar si voci demonice in stilul CRADLE OF FILTH. Contrastul vine din acele superbe coruri care dau o sobrietate si greutate muzicii Metal, rezultatul final fiind unul reusit. Daca totusi caut sa fiu carcotas, as spune ca armonia intre Clasic si Metal are inca de suferit, dar sunt convins ca si urechile mele trebuie sa fie obisnuite cu astfel de mixari, de abordari! Un album de referinta pentru Black Metal-ul modern pe care va recomand sa nu-l ratati!

This is finally something to „feed” my soul! And I am not speaking necessarily about audition only but as concept and execution while the inspiration is at its most! Orchestration Black Metal! What could be more serious than a collaboration of some young musicians devoted to extreme Metal tunes with symphonic orchestras or professional classic choirs!? Even if this is not quite unique on the Metal scene, this album has a certain charm and the classical or even the symphonic touches weight more than expected in TVANGESTE’s sound economy.

If the debut album insists as well on Epic Doom Death Metal sequences, the new material is focused solely on bombastic Black Metal full of atmosphere and Epic echoes yet featuring as well demonic vocals as in CRADLE OF FILTH manner. The contrast comes from those superb choirs who give such amazing sobriety and a certain value to Metal music so that the final result is really great! If I really intend to be a nasty character, I’d say that the Classic/Metal harmony is not that well balanced but I am sure that my ears as well must become acquainted with such mixing and approaches! This surely is a reference album for modern Black Metal and I advice you not to miss it!

Incredibil cat de bine poate sa sune acest album! Desi il am de un an de zile, continui sa-l ascult cu mare placere oricand am ocazia. Acest lucru il fac si datorita diversitatii stilistice prezentata de acesti talentati rusi, Gothic, Black sau Doom fiind doar cateva succinte repere. Ei bine, ce gasim aici? Voci feminine, voci masculine diverse, keyboard intens, vioara, cello, ritmuri ultra rapide, dar si pasaje melancolice, dominate de pian si de versuri soptite, chitari Heavy Metal. intregul sunet complex ne atrage ca un magnet, schimbarile de ritm si suma de influente prezentata in piese extrem de lungi (cam 9-10 min) dau dovada de seriozitate si inspiratie. Curios ca albumul a fost conceput in urma cu vreo 4 ani dar, dupa ce a reusit sa se vanda in tarile fostei URSS in peste 5000 de exemplare (dar in format de caseta), a reusit sa penetreze si restul lumii datorita acestui proaspat label norvegian. Recomandabil!
