Frostmoon Eclipse – AS TIME RETREATS Vinyl LP

Description

In 2024, Frostmoon Eclipse celebrated their 30th anniversary, which saw new light to their first 4 studio albums, and this year the band returns with their 8th full length album «As Time Retreats». On this album the band explores deeper into their distinguished signature sound where Black Metal is mixed with Classic Rock. Furthermore the band has implied some surprising Post elements and even some Death / Doom moments (think of Katatonia, My Dying Bride and the likes) and this all for the better!!!The production of their new record remains within known territory as we’re used to, with a raw, yet, clear enough sound. The music itself, even though hearing the formidable Frostmoon Eclipse sound, has adapted to some new elements as addressed previously and this all for the better. The guitars as we know them keep rocking those old school black metal riffing and then come to peace with some beautiful enchanting rock melodies which once again have been able to capture the listener into a wonderful journey of music. The bass guitar delivers an outstanding support in filling up the gaps and brings the heaviness to the music on the right moments, but that’s not all! There are several parts where the bass is the lead figure which lifts the whole feeling of the total sound to an even high spirit. The drums are pounding their way through the record with a simple note to give a full breathing to the string instruments. Le moment supreme might yet be the vocals who come with a refreshing new approach as we do not hear only harsh or raspy scream vocals, no sir! There is even enough room for a wide diversity of clean vocals and even some speech vocals which gives the album a completely relaxed touch and it fits extremely well, if I may say so.As Time Retreats is a refreshing and yet still a very old school record that will capture the attention of both new and old fans and last but not least, that can be enjoyed to the fullest from start ‘till end. The album will be released on different formats such as CD & Vinyl.
