It is really not often I look at an album that is more than an hour long in runtime and think "Too short". In Veil Of Imagination's case, I wish it went forever and ever. Read more ›› |

Fantastic album. Right now I'm even ashamed that this is the first time I hear the band...

I've never heard of them before either, but I'll check this out due to some of this hype.

Written by robpal on 31.10.2019 at 23:43 It's basically symphonic Opeth Some of it sounds like a direct copy paste

Written by Ball Fondlers on 04.11.2019 at 15:01 One of the melodic motifs in The Unimaginable Zero Summer is an obvious Opeth moment, but other than that your post comes across like all other prog bands who mix in death metal just copy Opeth.

I liked their previous album, but this is on a whole other level. Impressive! Definitely Progressive Death Metal, not Symphonic Folk.

Written by Risto on 04.11.2019 at 16:54 Right. This is progressive death metal. It's copy/paste Opeth to the same extent that all doom bands are copy/paste Sabbath. The influence is obviously there, but it really cheapens such a good album to act as if this is just cookie cutter stuff.

Written by Risto on 04.11.2019 at 16:54 It's not a copy+paste, but there's definitely a few moments that borrow heavily from Opeth (the part you mentioned, ending of Tyranny of Imagination, a few others I can't remember just now) Still a really solid album though

Amazing album, at the same level as Sleep ... It must be heard as a whole; definitely a piece of art.  I don't think they completely left the folk influences. Although they do not use the instruments present in the previous works (mandolin, autoharp), there are many melodies, vocal lines, that are still folk. Highlights for me (difficult to choose only some tracks): The Unimaginable Zero Summer, O Resolution!, Sleeping Ambassadors Of The Sun and Scentless Core (Fading).

Written by CWA on 17.11.2019 at 23:57 They're still unsigned, purchasing their albums through their bandcamp site is the only (and best!) alternative right now.
