Synopsis
Album Description Absolutely amazing album by the band already acclaimed "The Prussian Treasure"! Brilliant, wrathful vocals mix superbly with majestic, noble symphonic sound and sophisticated, technically perfect solos. The music immediately grips the listener and enchants them with its power and intensity! Their first full-length "Damnation of Rergiomontum" sold very well, thus making the band recognizable on Eastern Europe metal scene. The band performed with The Baltic Symphony Orchestra and The Prussian Chamber Choir! Grand Orchestration Black Metal recommended for Cradle of Filth and Therion maniacs!!! Soundtrack to your most terrifying, yet fascinating nightmare; nightmare you'd like to last forevil... Similar CDs |
CD ReviewsDouglas Hernandez | 09/04/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a good example of how a pupil rarely becomes better than its teacher. And while it is a bit unfair to explicitely bring the name Cradle of Filth into the equation here, there's no denying where Tvangeste has drawn their inspiration from. The music reflects enough confidence to command a degree of respect and admiration. The band employs an orchestra and a chamber choir into their music, not to mention a wide range of vocal styles, including both shrieky and clean male vocals, regular and operatic-like female vocals, and whispers. We also have the keyboards up front providing sufficient meat to the bones. Did I mention about the violins and flutes? I guess my point is that this is not your typical symphonic metal band. This is much more complex, more audacious and definitely a very enlightening and abstract journey. The affective artistic content within is an inherent pictorial exhortation that has rekindled my faith in a genre that otherwise tends to sound fatigued and optimistic. I am by no means a fan of many of the elements that are combined here, but when it's done well the results can be satisfying. I wouldn't call this black metal either, since this genre in its own right is strictly traditional and primitive, which is how it should be.Just call it highly developed symphonic metal with identity. From Russia with love. " Amazing... Mike Taylor | Ipswich, England, UK | 04/05/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am very lucky to have heard of Tvangeste. I absolutley love this album. It is very atmospheric. It keeps me interested the whole way through, unlike some albums that fly over your head when "listening" to them. I also own an earlier album than Firestorm called "Damnation of Regiomontum" (which is not listed on Amazon).
This is also amazing. If you are new to this band, these two cds are a must have for any black metal fans out there. " |
