Metal Monday CCLXIV - A Flame That Pierces With A Deadly Cold

7/22/2019

I mentioned Tolkien-inspired Metal last week and, coupled with the fantasy kick I seem to be on in all aspects, this seemed like a golden opportunity to showcase Erebos. There should be some out there already familiar with this solo artist however this album marks big change in the previous intrumental only trend: vocals. Partnering with a member from Armorer (who is now on my radar) these two fantastic wraiths have created a stellar album.
A Flame That Pierces With A Deadly Cold harbors epic tracks that sunder and swell as if a volcano and a tsunami were colliding, straight CATACLYSMIC. The showcase track for this week will be Whirlwinds of Flame however do give the rest of the album a listen. The Onslaught of Morgoth lures you in with a mystical beginning before thundering down upon you with unrelenting with broad, enchanting power. Of Dusk and Dawn marches onward with riveting riffs and resounding wails. And, of course, there is that sweet, sweet album art to tempt you should you resist. JUST LOOK AT IT! IT. IS. AWESOME!
Do some digging on Erebos on your own. Since fantasy is always about the mystery and adventure, let this week, and artists, bring you some spice to your routine. Until next week, press play, turn up the volume, and let the sound bolster your spirit. /,,/

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
