Mist form a unique doom metal sound in anniversary video

Today a lot of videos and sounds are shared around the World Wide Web. But what I found in my inbox of slovenian all female doom metal band Mist really opened up my ears.

Mist are already around for ten years.

It's this in-depth sound that is composed of the direct sounding guitars, the constant pushing and permanent cymbal using drums in combination with the vocals that leave a mark, something that makes it stand out from all the others. The high vocals may sound a bit unusual but with every moment passing they fit in better.

I love the natural sounding production and the not-overloaded guitar sound. It's all constantly moving in a flow but at certain points leaves a moment to stop and take a breathe. The end is something even more special. The whole track changes it's pattern and also the visual presentation moves to a different point. Make sure to stay at the screen 'til the end.

»Altar Of You« is taken from the 2018 album »Free Me Of The Sun« (Soulseller Records). The album was recorded, produced and mixed by Benjamin Kic (Metalsteel) and mastered by Patrick W. Engel (Candlemass, Pentagram, Darkthrone, Exodus) at his Temple of Disharmony studio.

EP Review: Sirius - Wings of Fire (Heavy Metal / Power Metal)

A fine EP that is a good pick to party in it's first half and much more thought out in the second. 

This band serves the power metal straight the way I like it. The opener "Wings of Fire" has a fine stomping bold midtempo rhythm and the riffs and vocals present the track as a solid start into a EP full of metal hymms. The "Shadow in my heart" builds upon a longer riff that winds through the whole track. Along with the drums this serves as a uplifting heavy rocker. The vox come down in strings that add a special note to this tune. 

Next is "The Last Angel" - it's more complex than the previous two. It's riff is changing in tonality throughout the duration. The playing around with guitar effects dominates this one. Surely one for a re-listen. The last track already follows with "The Fury Within". It's once again deeper thought-out. The vocals wear a Judas Priest touch. A cool mixture of the easier first tunes of the EP but worked out wider into it's depth. This needs time to sink in and deserves more attention but I think it's great, too.
