Post subject: | Blaze of Sorrow - Echi - just wow |
Finally got this release through the mail. It was released at the end of 2012 and I must say it has probably become my highlight album of that year. Beautiful black metal with a very nature inspired atmosphere. The melodies are beautiful and very melancholic and the many acoustic sections just take it to another level, with a small use of keyboards here and there to add to the ambience. I am surprised I have not seen this band mentioned a bit more. Check this release out and see what you think, you will not be disappointed, I found it to be one of those rare albums that make me say wow to myself after first listen. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3IXEd1wzQ64 |

This is amazing stuff. Stormm you are always so spot on with your recs that I actually look forward to seeing them This one is no different. I absolutely love the instrumentation, and the production is perfect. This is my third listen while writing this and that is a good sign indeed. I am going to look for a physical copy asap. Cheers |

Cheers Why thanks Apex, glad you enjoyed this also. I must agree that the production is perfect and the bass can be clearly heard through the mix. I can safely say if you get the cd you will not be disappointed mate, there are no fillers on this one. |

I listened to this online a couple of weeks back after seeing a review on the MA home page and i was kinda surprised no one was talking about it. Not the least bit surprised STORMM knows about it though... Really beautiful music |

How am I supposed to watch this video? It says this is mobile youtube and clicking on anything does nothing. |

Excellent music. Thanks for the recommendation, this reminds me a bit of Drudkh in a way which is always a plus. |

Nice to see a bit of love for these guys, I am waiting on a couple of other late 2012 releases to arrive which should be good, the Christmas mail has slowed things a bit but I was glad to get this one first as I had high hopes for it and it did not disappoint. |

Again, nothing outrageously original but the atmosphere created quite suited my tastes. Will try to get hold of this album along with Gallowbraid |

Not bad, but something about the production bugs me. I don't mind clean production, but this seemed almost machine-like. Or maybe it's just cause it's five in the morning and I was eating really crunchy crackers while listening. Either way, I'll have to check it out again later knowing more of what to expect. Does anyone know of a US distro stocking this? |

Does anyone know of a US distro stocking this? I really enjoyed the production on it to be honest, I think it really suits the atmosphere. Try here Krav for a list of Sun & Moon distributors - http://sunandmoonrecords.com/index.php?m=1165219489 Or here is a link to Sun & Moon on the archives - viewtopic.php?f=9&t=92793&hilit=blaze+of+sorrow |

Thanks for the link but I went through those already before I posted! It probably just hasn't been enough time since the release, but the only one from that list I found stocking anything by the band was Ominous Domain and it wasn't Echi. I will definitely be taking another listen soon since it seemed like something I would really be into if not for the circumstances. |

Wow, this is some amazing stuff. Definitely a little bit of Drudkh in there, but the warm atmosphere reminds me of Dammerfarben. Now, I'm off to find a distro that sells this. |

Good call henkkjelle, those are two bands I think of while listening to this as well as Alcest and Lantlos. All a good combination if you ask me haha |
