Firefrost Arcanum专辑介绍

by Stewart Mason

Polish symphonic metal crew Vesania make their Western debut with 2004's Firefrost Arcanum, an album so hugely, unapologetically over the top that at first it almost sounds like a deadpan parody of symphonic black metal. The album is primarily comprised of epic-length swells of slashing orchestrations and droning guitar riffs over blastbeat drums, underneath a completely forgettable yowling singer. These alternate with brief, almost ambient interludes that serve as quick respites in between the onslaughts; unfortunately, these short, impressionistic pieces are actually a lot more musically interesting than the thud-and-screech that surrounds them. A more equitable balance of the two styles would make this a much richer and less tiring album.
