Impure Wilhelmina - Radiation (2017)

Today I need to stop a bit the Therion chariot cause I have to talk to you about a new found band for me, one of those bands that of new as nothing, they are around since 1996 but only some days ago I found about it. The songs of the album seem like arising from the black aura of Katatonia, if you like me are a Katatonia fan you will be enthusiastic about this album, even if you are not, together with that dark aura you have a vocals that really has resemblance with Oddleif Stensland from Communic, and to finish this analysis they really go drink some big influences to Doom Metal and around. If you enjoy complex songs this is your beach.
Enjoy. I will share some of the songs I heard about, the first one I heard was "Great Falls Beyond Death" and it enters in your mind really fast

The second one "Bones and Heart" is not so amazing but is also really cool

The "We Need A New Sun" really made me glad, it starts really slowly but when it bursts it made me remember another band I really enjoy... Barren Earth. It's heavy instrumentally and that I adore.

To finalize I leave you with the song "Sacred Fire"

See you next week

Therion - Sirius B(2004)

Toay We are going to talk about the 2nd part of the double album which came out in 2004, Sirius B, for a long time I listened much more Lemuria than Sirius B, but suddenly I started hearing one song and another from Sirius B and it became amazing

The first song of the Album is Blood of Kingu, I would say it starts in an mazing way with speed fused with an angelic chorus and choir. The voice of Mats Leven is what you hear, is easy to notice his voice. The transition between his voice and the choir is sooo good, like a summoning.

The second song is Son of the Sun, this song send us back to Egipt it is hardly ever missed in a live show also, is iconic. The female voice chosen has strength but melody alltogether. The men voices fit well in the choir. Keeps the same speed heard before, and the storyis really nice for thos ewho don't know of it, Akhenaton son of Amenhotep III

The third song of them album is dedicated or is about Rasputin, it is called Khlysty Evangelist I love the russian like first part, like a monk chant, prepares the ambience for the second part, it is one of the darkest songs from Therion that I know, is also one of my all time favourites from Therion. Once again Mats leven voice is recognizable and I really enjoy it, adds the dark effect I love.

The 4th song of the album is called Dark Venus Persephone, those are onw of those songs you might want to hear to isolate yourself from the worls with sound, is so amazing, the vocals send you to a story directly and the male voces that appeared help you feel the godly sound you just feel embraced. instrumentally is one of my favourite tracks everything fits

The 5th and 6th songs are related they are about Kali Yuga, it is divided in two parts, bot are amazing the second part has part of the first in chorus but moves forward. The feeling is way more darker than generally in this album, more than in Dark Venus Persephone for example, I wanted  to find the two songs seperated, but I can't find, in fac ti found the second part separated but not the first one, so I'm posting two parts together. The song makes you search for what Kali yuga is. It is a heavy and fast song, still has the melody bits, but some might not enjoy and other will love it. It has to have that dark feeling

The 7th song of the album is Called The Wondrous world of Punt, for me is like Siren of The woods is one of those songs a bit like Dark Venus Persephone that you wand to allow your mind to slipaway and fly free. I s one of the most peaceful songs on teh album

The last song I am showing you is the 9th one and it is called Call of  Dagon, we once again increase the pace a bit but not too much, Is like an evocation this one.

 Still 3 more albums to go concerning Therion, can come right next week or I can post something else in between

Therion - Lemuria(2004)

Today we are going to talk about one side of the double album Therion released in 2004, this side is called Lemuria, Is one masterpiece if you enjoy metal with melody fused with orchestration, more than ever orchestration is present. The album i maybe from Therion the one that easily enters in your mind and you start singing it from top to bottom easily


The first song I'm showing you is one of the stronger songs ever from them, with harsh vocals, not so seen many times in last albums. it's called "Typhon"

The second song I'm showing you is called "Uthark Runa", not being one of my favourite ones has a wonderful melody and the vocals fit really well, for some reason was never one of my favourite songs. It's one of the songs where you can hear Mats Leven in its splendour

 I was about to not talk about this one, but how could I do that? this songs musically is amazing. And you may notice later it has some connection in construction with Kali yuga. It's called  "Three Ships of Berik", here both songs together, in fact they are the third and 4th songs of the album

The next one I'm talking about is the title track, Lemuria. you know when You start hearing a band and are afraid to move from the album you first had? in fear the rest of their work is not so good? well the album that brought me to Therion is yet to be presented, but one day I checked last.fm to heck what were other people hearing form Therion and Lemuria was and I think still is on of their most famous songs. It starts easy and calm and remains amazing all those years passed. It explains the story of Lemuria and you can feel the mystical power in it. Big part of the song seems like we are in the sea in a ship.

The next song is somehow different, "Quetzalcoatl", has a Spanish part in it that I think fits amazingly, it talks about Quetzalcoatl The Master of the sun. It also spins around the 2012 prophecy. The melody behind all the song is amazing and gives us the mystic feeling the song wants to pass

The next song is called Dreams of Swedenborg it seems it was a Scientist who had a vision and embraced that vision. I like this song It's like  we are really enjoying is visions. For me the best part on this song is the prophetic singing with the engagement in the choirs.Everything is so magical from the clocky beat though the music, the fitting of more harsh and acute voices. It basically invites us to let our mind travel though the music space.

The next song is amazing in every aspect, "An Arrow From The Sun" the first time we will talk about Abaris, it has different vocals in it, and lyrics are so abysmal, Check the video for more Info on Abaris.

 The last song I'm talking about is called Abraxas, once again not one of my favourites, I enjoy the female voice with the sound behind it, but lacks something that the other songs have. Still is pretty solid.

Russkaja - Kosmopoliturbo(2017)

Today something a little different I can't avoid not posting something about for too long, this band is called Russkaja but they are from Austria. The "Russian" influence is mainly because of the vocalist being from Georgia, coudn't find info about the other integrants.

Two songs for now, the first one is called Hey road, the lyrics are so true and with a ska movement all the way, I love it htey call it Ska metal... is it possible?

I'm driving down this road, so long 
Life is just the journey we take 
I'm driving down this road, so long 
To a brand new day 
Wont'cha come my way 

Yes we learnt, to forget 
We got lost just to find another path 
We refuse to conform 
Yes we did everything just to escape the norm 
You can try, but you can't hide from fate

The second song is Alive, seems like a joke but sounds so good and the hip-hop mix in the middle is also kinda nice.

I'm becoming addicted to this band.
