SYLVAN REALM
“The Lodge Of Transcendence”
(–)
Sometime I have a biased opinion on what a band will sound like. I had it with Sylvan Realm who I thought would be some sort of lame attempt at being a Marilyn Manson extreme version. Instead it turned out to be so much more than that. That this is extreme metal there is no doubt about but my fears that this would have anything to do with Marilyn Manson were put in the closet. Instead I get a Limbonic Art or Obsidian Gate feeling to this. If you are familiar with any of these bands then you know what I talking about. Otherwise I can tell you that these two bands are on the more orchestrated side of things without being overly symphonic. I get the same kind of feeling with Sylvan Realm. And for that reason I like this too. Anders Ekdahl
