Description
Superb second full-length album by German duo Empyrium, “Songs of Moors & Misty Fields” stands as a direct evolution of their debut, delving deeper into that unique fusion of doom, black metal and folk sensibility through a richer, more elaborate and emotionally absorbing perspective, consolidating the duo’s sound with long and developed compositions where atmosphere takes on an even greater role and acoustic elements, alongside flutes and more detailed arrangements, expand the evocative character of the whole.
Rather than simply repeating the formula “A Wintersunset...”, the album introduces a higher level of compositional sophistication, combining passages of marked doom influence with more melodic and ambient moments, always maintaining a strong melancholic weight and a deeply romantic approach. Composed of six extended pieces, “Songs of Moors & Misty Fields” has been widely recognised in specialised reviews as a key work within the genre, elevating Empyrium’s language towards a more mature, refined and profoundly evocative expression.
This limited digipack edition includes the bonus track “Mourners”, recorded live in 2012, as well as an extended booklet.
