│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After the excellent Domvs Mvndi and the ║ │
│║ monumental With Vilest Worms to Dwell, ║ │
│║ Hollenthon had blown the ailing Therion out of ║ │
│║ the water and established itself as the new ║ │
│║ standard for dark, symphonic metal. While it was ║ │
│║ no jumping of the proverbial shark, year's Opus ║ │
│║ Magnum took a few spins to get into, and even ║ │
│║ then did not live up to the greatness of its ║ │
│║ predecessors. As if in response, Martin Shirenc ║ │
│║ and his stalwarts have released a 4-track EP ║ │
│║ with some great new tracks. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ None of the material on Tyrants and Wraiths is ║ │
│║ as memorable as an "Y Draig Goch", but certainly ║ │
│║ a small step beyond what was accomplished on ║ │
│║ Opus Magnum. The production is as bold and ║ │
│║ bombastic as ever, and most of the tracks are ║ │
│║ straightforward black/death metal with slight ║ │
│║ embellishes of symphonic grace and chorals: ║ │
│║ "Tyrants and Wraiths" is heavy and effective, ║ │
│║ but not as strident and immediate as "Innocent ║ │
│║ Sin" or the mystical "Deathly Dirges". Closing ║ │
│║ track "Of Hollow Men" is the longest track and ║ │
│║ boasts some excellent choir work, dark and ║ │
│║ thriving like a ritual about to fall at the next ║ │
│║ eclipse, a sacrifice. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With luck, this is a teaser for what's to come ║ │
│║ when Shirenc drops his next full-length album. ║ │
│║ It's only 4 tracks and 20 minutes, but ║ │
│║ individually these were more exciting than most ║ │
│║ of the tracks on the last album. The EP also ║ │
│║ features two live videos from the 2008 Graspop ║ │
│║ Metal Meeting in Belgium. ║ │
