After a brief hiatus in the channel’s productions, METAL VRAU is back with a ‘literally’ breathtalking collab version for the iconic track “Snowblind”, originally released in 1972 on the classic album “Vol.4”, from British giants and one of the founding fathers of worldwide metal, Black Sabbath! If you know the history of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward on this album, more specifically for this song, you will understand the reference perfectly. In case you don’t know, it’s worth doing a little research!

In this version, the musicians managed to capture all the original essence of “Snowblind”, as well as the timbres and vocalizations, in a beautiful and vibrant tribute to the “owners of the whole damn thing”. What did you think? Subscribe to the channel and comment!

More Information:

METAL VRAU channel on YouTube based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, founded in May 2018 by musicians, guitarists and longtime friends, Rafael Pacheco and Sandro “Murdok”, in order to enhance the style they love so much, Heavy Metal in all its aspects and subgenres, devoid of prejudice and with good doses of humor. The purpose of the channel is to present not only collaborative videos with great musicians from the Brazilian metal scene and pay homage to national and worldwide giants of Rock/Metal, but also ‘playthroughs’ of self made material from the duo and other bands, interviews with important personalities within the style, special participations, reviews and personal opinions about instruments, all very well produced and maintining respect and extremely good taste. Unfortunately, after three years on the channel, Sandro “Murdok” had to leave amicably to dedicate himself to other personal and professional projects, but Rafael Pacheco will continue with his firm and strong legacy!

(review) Mourning Dawn – Dead End Euphoria (Aesthetic Death)

Leave a comment

DEE_cover_digi

French blackened doomsters Mourning Dawn release their new record with Aesthetic Death. Hailing from Paris area, these guys deliver their music for all darkened hearts and fiends out there for years. What can we expect here? There are six songs on this beautiful opus. Songs are longer in duration but they do not get boring at all. Music of Mourning Dawn can be described as doom metal with lots of death and black metal influences, so it is safe to say if I describe it as blackened doom metal. That means slower doom sombre guitar work, rolling drums, distorted bass and sorrow and melancholy underneath the brutality. Vocals vary between growling, screaming and sometimes clean vocals depending on the atmosphere in the song structures. There are also some excursions into fast almost blast beat drums and pure black death metal parts of the songs. Lyrically they deal with personal inner battles, death, life and catharsis. My personal favorites on this one are Never Too Old To Die and Conclusion. This is a superb record to gloom your day under a steel grey sky.
