:: ::
:: From the moment Thulcandra released their debut Fallen ::
:: AngelÆs Dominion in 2010 they have been on the watchlist of ::
:: many a black metal follower. The following year saw the ::
:: release of Under A Frozen Sun and itÆs been a blackened ::
:: star on the rise ever since. ::
:: ::
:: The German quartet have built a path for themselves on the ::
:: road to melodic black metal glory but itÆs not an easy ::
:: route to have chosen. Labelled by some as Dissection ::
:: clones, not necessarily in a negative way, but hardly a ::
:: rousing compliment on individuality. The band have ploughed ::
:: the sinister furrow for a few years and now the chance to ::
:: break free from such stigmatic confines may have come. ::
:: ::
:: Leading off with ôThe First Rebellionö is a smart move by ::
:: the Munich maestros as it illustrates perfectly why the ::
:: music press and fans have been raving about this band. It ::
:: begins with short guitar line that is soon joined by a ::
:: crashing rhythm section which takes flight and throws the ::
:: track into a brilliant maelstrom of melodic madness before ::
:: a sweepingly glorious acoustic interlude halfway through ::
:: that is interrupted, temporarily, by the piercing roar of ::
:: vocalist Steffen Kummerer. ::
:: ::
:: ôExalted Resistanceö, ôThe Second Fallö and ôDemigod ::
:: Resistanceö all make the most of the naturally aggressive ::
:: nature of Black Metal and throw the listener around the ::
:: barren winter wasteland evoked by the stark and ::
:: uncompromising sound. ::
:: ::
:: The albumÆs guitar lead melodies, courtesy of leader ::
:: Kummerer and guitarist Sebastian Ludwig, are at times ::
:: sublime and other times truly heavy and distorting as the ::
:: soul takes a dive down into the darkness. The structure and ::
:: composition of the all the tracks are to be admired as to ::
:: the energy and vigorous nature of the players. The ::
:: production is crystal clear and atmospherically chilling ::
:: throughout ::
:: ::
:: Ok, some of the harsher critics may well point out that ::
:: there is nothing on this album that truly stands out and ::
:: that the bandÆs influences can be clearly heard but thatÆs ::
:: not really the point. Not every album by a band can ::
:: redefine their sound. What bands can do, and what ::
:: Thulcandra have done, is to fully explore the range and ::
:: depth of their musical vision within the confines of their ::
:: chosen style. It bears repeated turntable spins. ::
:: ::
:: ItÆs clear that this is a band that has not yet reached ::
:: their peak but they are performing a mightily impressive ::
:: climb. ::

:: DonnieÆs Rating: 8/10 ::

:: Greetz fly out to Throne thx for support ;) ::
