le cinquième opus des New-Yorkais va sortir dans très peu de temps
pour vous faire patienter et baver, voici une chronique très prometteuse de cet opus tant attendu:
"A kettle of vultures circling tomorrow's battlefield"
This is the first review we have seen of the new album "Songs for a Widow"
(5 of 5 stars) "Songs for a Widow, Unto Ashes's fifth full album, is the musical equivalent of watching a kettle of vultures circling tomorrow's battlefield. The album begins with a re-interpretation of Covenant's synthpop anthem "One World One Sky" as a medieval-esque death dirge and doesn't really lighten up from there. As always, Unto Ashes show a deep commitment to the music they make, employing a wide range of traditional and modern instrumentation and an equally diverse number of languages to deliver their lyrical mysteries. Stylistically, the band combines permutations of medieval musical strains, apocalyptic folk, neoclassical movements, and enough haunting ethereality to make a cathedral candle gutter without wind. Though every track presents its own ominous shade, Unto Ashes also find room to offer a bit of experimentation to challenge the listener; for example, the song "You Will Never Know" begins as a morbid ballad with heavenly vocals, but picks up a soaring electric guitar solo along the way and climaxes in a fusion of militaristic drumming, distorted power chords, and black metal-inspired vocals before returning to a more somber bout of atmospherics. Closing the album is another re-working of "One World One Sky," this time as a pagan celebration in the face of human mortality. Grim has never been so compelling."
