Green Carnation- 'Light of day, Day of darkness' - By M. Freeman
Words can only attempt to sum up just how beautiful this album is, but those words will come to no avail without many an attentive listen to this incredible 60 minute work of art. This really is as good as music can get. A gentle synthesiser-like intro is just the beginning of something more grandeur than you could imagine may bless the listeners ears. Emotions are conveyed on every corner of the album, and the mixture is perfect, vocals ranging from the cleanest, most soothing of listens, to doomy wails, screams, and the enchanted mid-piece of a desperate sounding female solo. Children's choirs are heard giving the most fitting backing sound for several parts of the disc and the extent to which this works is purely mind-blowing. The music will have the listener captivated, but the lyrics have just as much awe-inspiring quality. At 60 minutes long, the lyrics had much to live upto to keep the flow at the incredible standard set by the opening section of the record, it is simple though, it just gets better. Each segment of the music is strikingly fitted together, with Tchort's vocal capabilities fully on show to enhance the wondrous moments in their entirety. With countless musicians involved, it is hard to imagine how everything could be moulded together so intricately. Over-distorted guitars and flowing drum beats keep the track's theme sweeping through the listeners ears in a way music rarely has, or rarely will. We can only hope that Green Carnation can bless us with such tremendous music once more. There are no genre boundaries to be worried about here, if you love true music, then you will love this. An epic, ground breaking masterpiece which opens new passages of majestic sublimity with each listen. Simply breath-taking. Metal Obsessive Grade: 100% |
