REVIEW: Sig:Ar:Tyr - The Stranger Self-financed, 2003
8/10
Sig:Ar:Tyr - The Stranger - cover art Sig:Ar:Tyr is a one man project run by a Canadian virtuoso going by the name Daemonskald. Inspired by folk music, the ways of the vikings and Yngwie Malmsteen he has crafted a conceptual release based around a short-story called "The Stranger" (written by himself) backed up by acoustic and atmospheric sounds. Daemonskald is without doubt a very talented composer and "The Stranger" is an enjoyable listen. 30 minutes of serene acoustics and keyboards is a bit straining in the long run though. Some drums and heavy guitars would be preferred. It has to be said though that it is a perfect listen while sipping on a good whiskey, lights turned down and with only silence as your companion. Trust me, I know from experience. "The Stranger" is a good disc and I hope Daemonskald will receive some well deserved attention for both the music and for his extraordinary guitar skills.
