Hateful, depressive, raw black metal from this french master who has survived time and death to haunt this decayed world! This is the anthem to your demise!
Fallen is the 9th studio album from Burzum, and follows the highly critically acclaimed 2010 release Belus which put Burzum straight back at the at the top of the chain as of one of the most innovative and creative metal artists of our time. Fallen follows Belus in sound and structure, and can also be compared to the music on the groundbreaking DET SOM ENGANG VAR. Fallen is more dynamic and hard hitting then Belus and has an even bigger sound, but still carries the same trademark melodic melody lines throughout that makes Burzum sound so iconic and unique.
Continuing to refine and perfect their sound while ever expanding it in new directions, “Cease the Day” is a powerful and kaleidoscopic effort. A thunderous undercurrent of melodic riffing drives these songs forward, elements of Doom, Death, and Progressive Metal all coming together to form a cohesive whole.
We are sure it will be hard to understand and take this release. It consists of 6 very peculiar ambient tracks which were made in collaboration with Clin, keyboardist of Ukrainian cult band Reusmarkt. It also contains 3 black-metal tracks (which are also of very uncommon style for Kroda). All of the tracks are so dissimilar that none could be a quintessence of the whole album's preview. That's why we have decided to choose the cover version of the classic Ukrainian Black Metal - "Under the Banners of the Horned Knjaz" by Nokturnal Mortum as the representative of this release.
Ein Black Metal-Album voller Energie, Wut, Verzweiflung, Melancholie, Melodie und Härte, dass so, gerade im deutschsprachigen Raum, noch nicht existierte.
