Do
you think I am only going to review metal at this website? Then you couldn't
be more wrong in this case because Empyrium is as far from metal or even rock
that you could possibly come. This album consists of dark orchestral music
with only classical instruments like violin, piano and acoustic guitar which
gives it a very dark peculiar atmosphere thanks to the composer skills of band
leader Ulf Theodor Schwadorf. The release of the band's debut album "A
Wintersunset" in 1996 was actually the reason for founding the label Prophecy
Productions in the first place and since then the label has grown to become
one of the leading ones as it comes to dealing with avantgarde music. Inspired
by mother nature herself Schwadorf has combined his love for romantic
feelings, love and tragedy with his musical skills to create one of the most
impressive and unique recordings that the world will ever see in 2002.
Wonderfully melancholic melodies and opera vocals are some other important
elements in this tribute to nature romanticism. It has been three years since
the last release from the band but fans of Empyrium will surely be satisfied
with the result despite the long wait. This is unique and exciting, that's
one thing for sure.
