Write a review for this release.While Elysian Blaze is a very atmospheric band, the song writing is well thought out and the music is quite up tempo, bordering straight out black metal in speed in places, making Elysian Blaze not a blackened funeral doom band but a black metal band with funeral doom elements.The atmosphere is what really gets me into this.The imagery and aesthetic, combined with the music, creates dark, majestic atmosphere, conjuring up mental images of ancient cathedrals and halls.I've finished listening and find myself thinking, 'wow, that album fucking ruled'.The entire album is very ambiental in the way guitars and synths work equally together.Production, though nowhere near professional studio quality, is good, murky but still clear enough to allow you distinguish all the instruments at work.The only riff that stood out was the opening riff for 'Macabre be thy Blood', a slow, menacing riff complemented by simple tinkling on the piano, which, by the way, is used quite effectively and to compliment riffs and drumming.In quite a few of the songs, the vocals are often sparsely used, resulting in brilliant instrumental work and creating a hypnotic mood.Listening to it is recommended only with headphones, and as Mutatiis has stated in interviews, total darkness is also encouraged.However, the appeal of this album is downright blasphemous, and will definitely appeal to anyone looking for an atmospheric experience.Elysian Blaze, the 2003 creation of it's solitary member Mutatiis, are a Black Metal band with elements of Funeral Doom Metal also.Signed to Asphyxiate Records, a major label it must be said, it proof of Elysian Blaze's undoubted raw talent.The music itself portrays images on vast empty landscapes, lifelessness and isolation from mankind and existence.Innovative and highly dynamic, Elysian Blaze has the ability to capture the listeners mind and entrance it for the duration of the record.Never do the songs become tedious or overbearing, they're always surprising and beautiful enough to captivate the listener and keep their attention.You'll find you have the ability to lose yourself in the music and open yourself up to the experience that is Elysian Blaze.With excellent songwriting, Elysian Blaze are consistent and possess a certain style that many bands will no doubt attempt to replicate in the future.Instruments are clear, giving the listener the chance to indulge in the brilliance that is Elysian Blaze without have to struggle to hear about a poor production or overbearing vocals.Elysian Blaze's sound is very full and has a lot of space and depth, maybe too much space and depth, so the singing sounds distant, anguished and lost in the deep dark spaces."Eclipse" which has a long running coda that keeps keys in the guitar chords and which increases the sense of unease in the track.The care and thought that went into the making of this opus extend to the sleeve presentation which features photos of a huge cathedral or university building taken in ways to emphasise the structure's alien organic quality or to direct the viewer's gaze up and beyond the architectural limitations which represent the chains of the physical universe.At this moment, the Dot TK system is unavailable due to a system update or system maintenance.Please check back again in a couple of minutes.Listening to it is recommended only with headphones, and as Mutatiis has stated in interviews, total darkness is also encouraged.It effectively has a way of making the drums seem even more intimidating than your standard metal blast beat.The drumming makes great use of the cymbals as well, creating a crashing barrage.In a world where even supposedly underground metal bands so often seem to chase the hottest trends, I always find it rewarding to come across
a band who is clearly committed to creating something meaningful
instead.Elysian Blaze, from Australia, play a mixture of doom and
black metal with plenty of atmospheric elements thrown in.Not only is
the suicidal black metal subgenre a rather small niche, Elysian Blaze
stubbornly refuse to compromise their musical vision, thus further
reducing their target audience.There is no need for any great
virtuosity, but Elysian Blaze's music is neither loose nor excessively
simplistic.All opinions expressed in Chronicles of Chaos are opinions held at the time of writing by the individuals expressing them.I've seen "funeral," "doom," "depressive," and "suicidal" (and in various combinations thereof) used to describe the black metal of Elysian Blaze.What interests me is what comes from the speakers, and on Levitating the Carnal (on Asphyxiate), Elysian Blaze indeed crafts sounds that make Joy Division seem happy.Levitating takes a big step up with great use of piano.This is a beautiful release that deserves a place in the same sentence as Xasthur, Leviathan, et al. |
