Review: Windfaerer – Breaths of Elder Dawns
A lovely epic folk/black metal album that is NOT sketchy.
A lovely epic folk/black metal album that is NOT sketchy.
Fantastically intricate blackened death metal with classic energy but bass-heavy and dissodeath-inspired chops.
Perfection without pretention, this is fucking superb! Scratching my O’Brother itch, but so so much more – huge dynamics and post-hardcore emotions collide with impeccable songwriting sensibilities in a compelling reflection on the destruction humanity has wrought on nature.
Lose yourself in this dynamic, progressive, sax-filled technical death metal epic.
If you are someone who wishes Keor never would have diverged from Steven Wilson/Opeth inspired sound he established in Petrichor, I think I might just have the album for you.
Finally! A progressive technical death album with some true melodic flair and a styling of Native Construct and similar artists in the cleaner sections.
Quality musicianship dragged down by poor mixing and a lack of originality.
Looking to get pummeled over the head with a few cool turns along the way? This is for that mood.
A solid atmospheric, djenty debut album from a small band in Minnesota.
