Summoning - Oath Bound
« on: March 08, 2006, 03:55:02 pm »
Ultima creatie a austriecilor de la Summoning se numeste "Oath Bound". Albumul cu numarul 6 continua linia precedentului "Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame" atat pe plan muzical cat si pe plan conceptual. Versurile trateaza ca si in trecut povestirile lui J.R.R Tolkien. Black metal atmosferic cu tente epice pe tot parcursul albumului. Interludiile ambient impreuna cu instrumentele de suflat si percutia monotona, insotite de vocile celor doi componenti, Silenius si Protector te fac parca sa vizualizezi povestea albumului. Imnurile corale epice, cantecul de corbi, cornii de vanatoare impreuna cu temele melodice de pe clape te introduc in atmosfera misterioasa.
"Oath Bound" are o durata de 70 de minute si a aparut in varianta Promo pe data de 6 martie. Va aparea oficial la casa de discuri Napalm Records pe data de 31 martie. Cele 8 compozitii desi au durate, cum ne-am obisnuit lungi au darul a te atrage in lumea fantastica de la prima piesa instrumentala "Bauglir" pana la ultima intitulata "Land of the Dead". De mentionat piesa numarul 3 "Mirdautas vras" cu versurile in "limbajul negru din Mordor", traducerea fiind "A good day to Kill". In continuare “Might and glory” impresioneaza cu tema pe clapa unde efectul de clarinet este acompaniat de coruri. Piesele urmatoare „Beleriand”, „Northward”, „Menegroth” desavarsesc tabloul epic prin tempoul mediu, solistici cristaline pe clape ºi misterioase ºoapte. Ultima si cea mai impresionanta dintre toate, cu tilul sugestiv „Land of the dead”  incheie cele 8 capitole. Clapele deschid piesa cu o tema trista parca venita din alte vremuri urmate de vocile cu ecou si celelalte instrumente. Tema principala este dupã modelul clasic, întrebare raspuns pe alocuri adaugandu-se coruri epice si efecte ce imitã flautul, în final.
Poveste, melancolie vis si atmosfera, intr-un cuvant Summoning.

Track List:

1. Bauglir        02:58 
2. Across the Streaming Tide    10:20 
3. Mirdautas Vras          08:13
4. Might and Glory       08:26

Interesant album! Nu sunt foarte hotarat cat de mult imi place, dar rau nu e! Iar piesa asta in "Mirdautas vras" mi se pare foarte interesant aranjata.

intr-adevar, un album excelent si care impresioneaza prin atmosfera.... este o mare chestie pentru Silenius si Protector ca reusesc sa mentina totusi conceptul pe care au pornit de multi ani, fara sa plictiseasca sau sa inoveze in ceva ce ar altera sound-ul si atmosfera tolkien-iana..... pentru mine, e unul dintre albumele preferate ale anului 2006 si nu numai

Desi am fost destul de sceptic  cand a aprut , din traditie (nu ma laud da am toate albumele lor originale) l-am luat si pe asta si dupa un nr de ascultari cateva piese au inceput sa imi faca cu ochiul... are unele aranjamente de clape bine realizate si desi chitara zic eu ca a trecut pe planul doi (mai ales facand comparatie cu stronghold) mie unu imi place mai mult ca let the mortal.....

Sincer, cel mai pe sufletul meu ramane tot "Let The Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame", desi parca percep "Minas Morgul" (oare de ce?  ;D) ca avand un sound mai greu si mai intunecat...

Sincer si Lugburz mi se pare intunecat si chiar interesant... (ca sa zic asa cel mai atipic album Summoning)

E si normal, pentru ca se pornise pe o linie black, in care pe langa prezenta lui Alexander Trondl (Trifixion) s-a simtit conceptual si cea a lui Ray Wells (Pazuzu); Silenius venea dupa o colaborare cu Pazuzu intr-o trupa de doom. Abia dupa Lugburz, cand au ramas Silenius si Protector, Summoning a insemnat si inseamna Dol Guldur, Stronghold sau Oath Bound, practic transpunerea in muzica a fanteziilor LOTR. Oricum, imi pare ca Silenius defula energiile negative suficient in Abigor, ca sa conceapa calm si maiestuos in Summoning.  ;D

N-am nimic de comunicat in mod special fata de cele de mai sus, numai ca impiedicandu-ma azi de acest album, realizez ca orice ascultare a albumului asta, dar in general a Summoning-ului este un regal al simturilor si o desfatare muzicoasa de mare exceptie a urechilor.


For us the music of "Oath Bound" follows rather the same style as the last album "Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame". The keyboards are as polyphonic and multi layered as on this release, and also the drums have the same style. The main difference are the guitars, which are this time much more dominant than before and play in a different style. Instead of the rather traditional staccato metal style of the last 2 releases, the guitars are not played in a much more relaxed arpeggio style, what gives the songs a more slow and more epic mood.

As the reaction of the fans showed us, we realized that this change of the guitar style had a much greater effect than we expected. Even old Summoning fans that still consider "Dol Guldur" as the best Summoning album ever, started to like this release much more than the other fans. On the other side, fans of "Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame" got disappointed.

Again we used self sung choirs for the album, but this time for 2 songs not only 1 song as on "Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame". In contrary to this release i had much better equipment which enabled us create much more choir tracks so the result is a more realistic sounding choir.
