By the Waters of Awakening

by Firienholt

supported by

heavymetalweatherman Who knows when we may hear another Caladan Brood album? In the vein of CB, Summoning, or Emyn Muil, comes this band doing epic black metal in a very earnest and creative way. This is produced very well and is enjoyable front to back on multiple listens. Favorite track: The Whispering Shadow.

Hayduke X On paper, this album sounds like it should bore me to death. In my ears, it's magical, engaging, powerfully moving. I'm not into the heavyweights of this style, but this album really captures me. I highly recommend this one. Favorite track: The Whispering Shadow.

"Gone are the stars and the morning light
Gone is the path so free
Lost are their hearts and their hopes to night
The years bringing misery"

"First emerging with a trilogy of EPs in mid-2020, the mysterious epic black metal project Firienholt received acclaim for its use of majestic synths, anthemic choruses and soaring long-form songs. Now the band is preparing to release a debut full-length album of grand, fantasy-themed epics that will take the listener on a winding journey from the origins of life to the wonders of the heavens... yet evil's haunting touch is never far away."

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 9 fans who also own “By the Waters of Awakening”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert
