The album still uses keyboards, but abandons the rock instruments and rasped vocals in favour of a traditional approach, though the guitar melodies are still recognisable as the same band. Without the overbearing, doomy atmosphere, this lacks the sorrow of the previou...more |

With their third album, Empyrium took the bold leap into acoustic folk territory, entirely abandoning their metal elements and risking alienating their previously loyal fans. Fortunately, this band excels at the folk style, as can be heard on the previous albums which essentially apply rock instruments to a folk foundation, and this stands strong as an equally valid album rather than a one-off attempt, such as Ulver's 'Kveldssanger' or Borknagar's 'Origin.'

Revival of the class sound, unhindered by the curse of the nineties. 
Stuck in a time warp, and not the best example of the genre. Fantastic Songs which will ammuse you for hours .... Epic folk metal. Slightly overblown and incoherent. Something different. Will disappoint fans. Varied and accessible black metal. Lacks authentic atmosphere of its predecessor.Throbbing Gristle: Part Two: The Endless Not
None
Halflife - Lacuna Coil
A couple of decent songs. All pretty samey.
Catalyst - New Found Glory
A terrific album of bouncy pop punk fun. If you dislike nasal vocal performances then you probably won't like this.
Discouraged Ones - Katatonia
Successful change of direction without losing artistic integrity. Songs tend towards similarity and over-repetition.
In A Reverie - Lacuna Coil
Average gothic doom metal. Still authentic to the genre.
Into The Purple Valley - Ry Cooder
Great Guitar Playing and Interpretation of American Classics Vocals occasionally a bit dodgy
Last Fair Deal Gone Down - Katatonia
Improved instrumentation, tighter focus. Most songs follow the same structure.
Swamplord - Kalmah
Meaner and more reliable equivalent to Children of Bodom. It's still partly a copy-cat act.
Swampsong - Kalmah
Greater range of styles and speeds. Neither extreme is particularly pleasing.
Tha Carter - Lil' Wayne
Great beats. Consistent. Rhymes are weak at times
