VESPERIAN SORROW
“Stormwinds of Ages”
(Amplitude Media Studios)
Half the fun of being a metalhead is finding new bands you’ve never ever heard before. Vesperian Sorrow are new to me but they are not new to the scene. Having already released a two records on Ducth Displeased Records prior to this new one they’ve built a following of sort already. That aside I haven’t heard a single note by them before this new third album. This is extreme metal at the more symphonic end of the scale. There is an early Dimmu Borgir feel to it in all its chaos. I’m not too sure what I feel about that kind of chaotic metal. I need to really be in the right mood to fully appreciate it. But if you think Cradle Of Filth and Dimmu Borgir are the best there is then this will appeal to you. I too like this. Anders Ekdahl
