Unleash the raw, dark symphony of Elderwind's latest album, "Fires". This musical titan, deviating from the band's previous atmospheric black metal masterpieces, is a tempestuous homage to the wildfires devastating landscapes worldwide. The band's third release is their most potent yet, a musical inferno invoking feelings of grief, fear, and anger, as it rails against the destruction caused by these natural disasters. With captivating artwork, intense lyrics, and visceral instrumentals, "Fires" paints a compelling narrative of tragic loss and impending doom. Where Elderwind's previous work whispered of winter's charm and autumn forests' coziness, "Fires" roars with the fury and power of nature's destructive force. Harder guitar riffs, more aggressive vocals, and frequent blast beats replace the familiar ambient synth melodies and contemplative moods, showcasing the band's talent in a more furious, straightforward composition. "Fires" is a poignant testament to the catastrophic impact of wildfires, its emotionally charged, goosebump-inducing melodies resonating deeply with listeners. Fans of Summoning, Lustre, Saor, Grima, and Winterfylleth will find a new musical inferno to explore in Elderwind's latest release. |
