(recka) The Mist from the Mountains – Monumental – The Temple of Twilight

Ostajemo kod finske black metal scene koja me neprestano oduševljava i fascinira odličnim izdanjima i bendovima. The Mist from the Mountains su relativno novi bend na sceni, ovo im je prvi dugosvirajući album, ali članovi benda su pekli znanje u mnogim odličnim projektima i bendovima kao što su And Oceans, Havoc Unit, Alghazanth, Black Beast…

Ovaj opus nudi 6 podužih pjesama, a glazba je odličan energični melodični black metal, gitarske melodije se jako dobro upotpunjuju sa dva vokala i blast beatovi možda nisu česti, ali ovaj bend daje možda više na melodiju i epsku liriku black metala kao i melankoliju nego na agresiju koja je u drugom planu, ali dakako prisutna. To ne znači da se album neće dopasti ljubiteljima sirovijeg black metal izričaja. Tekstovi su više osobni, daju više prenesenog značenja na unutarnje borbe i demone, kao i na prirodu i ljepotu tamnog srca pojedinca koji pati, ali uživa u mraku. Moji osobni favoriti na ovom albumu su A Paean to Fire, Master of Wilderness i After God. Vi pronađite svoje favorite. Finska, zemlja tisuću jezera i odličnih bendova i projekata.

On April 15 the album of the German melodic punk rock band will be released via SBÄM and Say-10, “Apocalypse Tomorrow” is the last foretaste. The video is released today, the SIngle on all streaming platforms on Friday, 18.03. Today, Wednesday, the presale for the new album begins.

Apocalypse Now? Apocalypse Later? Apocalypse Whenever! That’s the title of the latest and final single of Captain Asshole’s new album Successfully Not Giving Up before it hits the shelves. 

Screeching guitar feedback and blasting drums mark the beginning of the end of times atmosphere the song is creating, and it becomes rather obvious once the opening line hits: well it’s been a bad day I watched our planet die… The song deals with our millennial generation’s disillusion in relation to ongoing disasters like the climate crisis but also couldn’t be more urgent in times of pandemic and war in central Europe. Musically it continues much more uplifting than initially assumed and it even finds some hope lyrically, true to the theme of Successfully Not Giving Up: I still think we have to keep on fighting for what we believe in.

As with previous releases the titular Captain Asshole shows up for at least one video. But in a twist of fate now the hunter becomes the hunted. 

„Successfully Not Giving Up“ releases April 15 2022 via SBÄM Records, US release via SAY-10 Records.
