Lachryma Christi hasn't heard of this band before. But they are actually cool.
If you are into epic music with orchestrations and those Conanish atmospheres, then this is for you.
So, Stormlord are relasing their 6th album on the 24th of May. It is called Far and will come out through Scarlet Records.
Reminds a bit of what Dimmu Borgir have been doing recently. Although in a more "happy" style.
Very fast, epic as in music for a battle with dragons, Far even has a song called Cimmeria, which is a tribute to some icons such as Robert E. Howard, the author of Conan The Barbarian.
So if you like this kind of adventure, not only literary or cinematographic but also in music, you'll love this album.
Orchestrations are indeed very imponent and strong, with those choirs with voices sounding like warriors.
It is very full of energy and the concept is very good, since the lyrics are about traditions of the Mediterranean, as well as about myth and glory in ancient Rome.
The cover artwork is very explicit and was made by Gyula Havancsák (who has also worked with Accept, Stratovarius, Destruction, Wintersun).
So yes, although this isn't very much the cup of tea of Lachryma Christi, it couldn't stay behind and it is very good in it's genre. Extremely good quality. Not only in production, but the compositions as well.
And for Lachryma Christi, the top track might be Cimmeria really.
