Another great Nordicwinter CD! Continuing the tradition of 'I can't pick a favorite because they are all my favorite...'
Favorite track: As Twilight Fades.

NORDICWINTER delivers first class atmospheric depressive black metal on "This Mournful Dawn". The four epic hymns are not just thrilling and cold but also dreamy in a very dark way. Maybe there are lyrics but actually the vocals act more like another harsh instrument. Although all songs are structured in a very similar way, the album does not become boring. Instead the emotional impact is intensified by the similarity of the songs. So, you can choose any song to experience the dense atmosphere.
Favorite track: Death's Pale Touch.

This was an instabuy for me & I did not even need to hear the two available songs... :) Nordicwinter, or Evillair, is a master of ABM & I expect this to be outstanding as all his other materials & I look forward to it! Highly recommended!!!
Edit: What an album! Evillair outdid himself! The emotions & the feelings are just too much. I am going need to stop hitting repeat... :) Highly recommended!!!

Enshrouded by Winter
10:41
|

The willow dies among fallen dreams,
Frozen in this landscape of old
Desolate tears upon my sullen face,
Left to die this heart forever cold
Lost memories fade into darkness,
Life that shall be forever gone
In eternal darkness I weep in silence,
Eyes shall never witness dawn
As the seasons pass I lay in death
This cold darkness entombs my pain
Upon lost paths of winter's veil
Pale faced death beneath crimson rain
As the wind call forth my name
They whisper, a call from beyond
In shadows of mist and rain
The ravens cries my lament's song
Enshrouded by this cold winds,
These hallowed echoes shall weep my name

Death's Pale Touch
10:24
|
|||
|
Funeral bells echo in the darkness
Whispers of desolation's winds
Under this night's sky it weeps her name
Death's pale touch has come to reclaim
Her eyes closed to this dismal life
To now fade like the passing tides
Memories forever lost to sleep
A soul that death shall forever keep
These crimson tears fall upon my face
A reminder of life she once had
Alone I stand among the shadows
To lie among these weeping woes
In freezing winds her soul now fades,
This dismal life death shall soon claim
Dawn brings no joy to a life now lost
These hallowed halls shall forever keep
This fleeting light shall shine no more
Echoes of laughter replaced by woes

As Twilight Fades
10:05
|
|||
|
As the twilight fades, into nothingness
My cold soul melts, into this abyss
And the last spoken hymn, echoes my dying breath
Pale riders ride, upon winds of death
Upon the veils of distant winds
The darkened void calls forth my name
Sorrow's melodies fade away
This eternal death shall soon claim
Among the fallen, dreams of life
I rest, in desolate shadows
Winter shrouds, the forgotten hopes
Seeking solace, in it's sorrows
As Twilight Fades, As Twilight Fades

Dark shadows cast, by a dying sun
The dismal mist mourns, the fading light
The tree of life, withered and pale
Dismal dirge, of fading twilight
Autumn's Last Mournful Whisper
A darken place to die
Autumn's Last Mournful Whisper
Under the frozen sky
Dark shadows cast, by a dying sun
The dismal mist mourns, the fading light

"This is a hand-crafted single malt which needs to be gently sipped as you sit beside a crackling fire pit whilst gazing out over snowcapped mountainous landscapes and gently babbling brooks. This is quite simply elegant and vitriolic beyond its years." 9/10

《 So many questions 》 — "Rest", Inevitable. NONE. La mort est une épée de Damoclès : elle va tomber et on en a conscience ; on ignore quand et on la redoute. Tel est le thème d'Inevitable. Pour pousser ce concept jusqu'au bout, NONE fait en sorte que ce quatrième album soit à double tranchants. Sur le plan quantitatif, DSBM et dark ambiant sont sur un pied d'égalité : si le premier est toujours aussi dévastateur, le second n'est pas là pour apporter du réconfort. L'incertitude, l'angoisse...

Life has gone on long enough
by NONEsupported by 73 fans who also own “This Mournful Dawn”
On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs...
