Today, Lachryma Christi brings you a review to Wastelands, the second album of Italian Atmospheric Black Metal band Morwinyon. Wastelands, is scheduled to be released on the 24th of February, through Naturmacht Productions.
What is Wastelands about? Wastelands is about the pain the human beings inflict in Nature. The cover reflects that well. What about the music, does it? Yes, it does.
Wastelands is a very introspective algum. 5 lengthy tracks, that even if you don't know what they are about previously, they'll make you think a lot anyway.
It is more in the realm of the Atmospheric, than that of the Black Metal, but the influences are all there, undoubtedly.
The 5 tracks are very intense, and they really drag you into a very introspective journey, where you end up pondering over everything and nothing.
The voice has quite a distortion, which adds more strength and depth to the whole album.
There is a very strong soundtrack style element to Wastelands.
So, if you are into atmospheric, intense, emotional, powerful, somewhat sad and introspective music, with everything that it entails, including very melodic and very present dreamy keyboards and slower rhythms, Wastelands is for you.
I liked it. I confess it is not entirely my cup of tea, but can't say I didn't like it. I liked it, and I recommend it, if this is your style of Black Metal Music. Even if it isn't, it really is worth to check it out.
My favourite track is An Agonized Look. It has some interesting and unexpected turns, it also shows really well how good Morwinyon are at what they do, and it left me with goosebumps.
