"Elegy" is the third full length from Prophecy
Productions atmospheric black metal stalwarts Finnr's
Cane. The Canadian trio has been carefully plotting a
follow up to 2013's "A Portrait Painted By The Sun" and
the next chapter in their musical journey falls
perfectly in conjunction with the bands 10th birthday.
The band have come a long way from their 2010 debut,
"Wanderlust", by embracing broader instrumentation and
focusing more on structure. The use of cello instead of
bass guitar in particular makes this band unique since
its inception though. With themes of urban desolation,
loss and grieving, personal struggle, the rebirth of the
natural world, the quiet hours of the early morning, and
the passage of time, "Elegy" is the logical next step
for Finnr's Cane.
In the words of founding member, The Bard: "Our vision
is always to create the kind of music that we want to
hear. The music on 'Elegy' places a lot of emphasis on
emotion, and there is a sad yet uplifting feel to much
of it. The sound is lush and atmospheric. Listening to
the album is very therapeutic for me, and I hope others
can find some degree of solace in it as well." Finnr's
Cane have unearthed something here that takes the
listener on an ethereal odyssey. The darkly progressive
music of 'Elegy' embraces all that the band has refined
over the past decade.
Drummer The Peasant tells us "The songs on 'Elegy' are
more structured than those from our previous two albums.
While the foundation of the music is still rooted in
traditional metal, minimalism, and improvisation, with
this release we focused more heavily on dynamics and
atmosphere. The final product is a musical experience
that can set your mind adrift." With this taken into
consideration, prepare to go forth on an epic adventure
from the opening chords of "Willow" all the way through
to the poetic send off of "A Sky Of Violet And Pearl".
"Elegy" proves once more that there is much more to
Finnr's Cane than meets the eye.
