Fall Of Empyrean - A Darkness Remembered
After getting in contact with the band I was most eager to recieve the bands debut-debut full legnth. Finally to my anticipation A Darkness Remembered was in my mailbox. A few of my friends were wondering how come no one has picked this band up. Blindedly thinking everything was self-released, but to my surprise I was happy to inform them Oak Knoll Productions realized the beauty and talent that flows from Fall Of Empyreans music.
A Darkness Remembered is the most recent release from Arizonas Fall Of Empyrean. Single Handedly Fall Of Empyrean brings back Americas sorrowful doom metal sound. While holding many influential sounds from bands such as Mourning Beloveth and While Heaven Wept, Fall Of Empyrean still reigns with originality. With accoustic breaks and a light keyboard wallowing in the background. Fall Of Empyrean spreads a prime melodic sound throughout the CD. The band brings a more personal apporach to the table with slow to mid-tempo beats and from time to time perhaps an upbeat sound. Though nevertheless, the music remains sorrowful, mournful and depressing with thick rhythmic leads almost mimicing the vocalist as he sings the lyrics.
Every song on this CD will absolutely ruin your day and take you through an epic doom metal fantasy where nothing but imminent death doom and destruction occurs while FOE plays in the background prompting you to take your own life. Personally, this is a feeling I often indulge in and enjoy.
A Darkness Rembered has a nice solid production, with absolutely no flaws whatsoever. The music is the perefect atmospheric doom metal and should become a part of your collection. Otherwise you're a mindless goon that shops on the wrong side of the gap.
