This isn't your typical black metal corpse-paint/non-stop
hyper-speed/satanic or pagan cliché!! Indeed, Mirrorthrone
does possess some faster extracts amongst it's otherwise ethereal,
atmospheric, bleak passages which is conclusively entitled, Of Wind
and Weeping. Mirrorthrone is not a full band at present, it is a title
fronted by one man whom calls himself Vladimir. In turn, Vladimir
single-handedly produced, mixed and mastered the entire portfolio
of what is currently Mirrorthrone ('cept of course for the female
vocals). A very well-talented and well-executed piece of musical art,
especially seeing how this is a debut album. There is some room for
improvement, however, but in this style of music anything is possible.
The only set-back is that I think Vladimir should find a drummer for
the next release to make the atmosphere more crisp. The artwork (photography)
is stellar... the musical approach and poetic thoughts should be left
intact. It would be a tragedy to see Mirrorthrone go astray with so
much potential! In my opinion, Mirrorthrone is enchanting, yet frightfully
haunting. Rating: 85 Reviewed By: Thomas Mitchell |
