| | Toorn is another of those ambitious one-man black metal offerings, |
| | this time from Cerulean, guitarist for Belgian black/sludge band |
| | Kludde. While his work there is alright, I was really overwhelmed |
| | by the sounds here, a spacious and melodic album which is over an |
| | hour long despite having six tracks. Yes, this consists of a number |
| | of 'epic' compositions which surpass the 11 minute mark, but |
| | Cerulean has written enough subtle texture into the repetition that |
| | each feels like a journey, a journey upon which I was more than |
| | willing to depart. He does all the instruments here, though has |
| | other members for live performances, and the drum machine is |
| | programmed well enough that it doesn't intrude upon the thick, |
| | glorious streams of guitars. I'll be honest, there were moments I |
| | simply could not tell. |
| | |
| | "Galgenburg" itself creates a lush ambient atmosphere before a |
| | series of powerful, if simple riffs that drive forward for much of |
| | the next 10 minutes, breaking only for a scene of somber solitude, |
| | glimmering acoustics and a reversion to the turbulent, beautiful |
| | guitars. "De Ondergang" is another track at almost 12 minutes, with |
| | some great guitar rhythms up front, but I really enjoyed where it |
| | breaks down into a primal percussive pattern with descending, |
| | melodic guitar lines and whispers at around 2:30. "Hoop" has some |
| | more of the sorrowful, melodic leanings, with huge vocals in the |
| | bridge that elapse into snarling over the further, mid-period |
| | Katatonia pulse of its rhythm. "Het laatste Oordeel" creates a |
| | nice, dreary dual melody before its own entrance into the driving |
| | mid-paced rhythm, another 12 minute tapestry of sadness and bleak |
| | landscapes. At under 5 minutes, "Paria" is the baby of this record, |
| | but one of the heaviest tracks, which a lot of chugging thunder |
| | below its sad veneer. Possibly the best track of the six. The album |
| | ends with its lengthiest composition, "Memento Mori", 15+ minutes |
| | of tranquillity in acoustics, black and doom segues and bombastic, |
| | tribal percussion. |
| | |
| | Galgenburg is a great debut...for a project I hope will continue. |
| | It's going to have the greatest appeal to fans of that style of |
| | Katatonia meets bedroom black metal which is more common than you'd |
| | think. The melodies are sound, the mix of the record is great, and |
| | it's another strong offering for a rainy day or a grim travail |
| | through the woodlands of autumn or winter. |
