REVIEW: Dargaard - The Dissolution Of Eternity Draenor Productions, 2001
9/10
Dargaard - The Dissolution Of Eternity - cover art This is the last chapter of the trilogy. Goodness reflects the light and evil bears the seeds of all darkness". Such are Tharen's last words to end this opus that he composed and played. The only other member on this project is Elisabeth Torister, the graceful singer who also composed the vocal parts. Dark, mystical, symphonic, beautiful musical structures on which Tharen uses his voice in the spoken form. The music is very calm and slowly evolving and even if somewhat repetitive, remains quite magical and majestic. The instruments used are not described but if it's electronics, they sound really good like the winds, harp and percussions. "The Fleeing Time" is one of my favorites being quite enchanting with gorgeous female voice guided by a piano and harp duo on nice percussions. The lyrics are in latin just as "In The Omnipresence Of Death" and "A Prophecy Of Immortality". On the other hand, "A Path In The Dust", sounds pretty solemn with its great chant, symphonic arrangements and strong percussions that would suit well for a royal cortege. "Night Before The Vastland Storms" is an awesome classical composition installing a magical aroma between your ears. "The Isolated Vale" has some incredible strings partitions that makes it sound like a menuet sang by a Gothic Princess. If you were to ask me if this is metal, my answer would be yes. It's a great Gothic Metal opus but heavy, absolutely not.
