Limbonic Art – “Moon in the Scorpio”
LIMBONIC ART specializes in classical, complex, extreme black metal at its best. I thank the main man at FULL MOON PROD. for talking me into buying this magnificent band. The songs, 6 in total, are very long and atmospheric. Exceeding almost 10 min. each I believe. For those who do not like long songs, believe me when I say that the breaks they have and the transitions they have are excellent. For example, the song “Beyond the Candles Burning”, is pretty fast, but after 8 min. or so it goes into this slow, doomy, very atmospheric piece that just put me in a trance. Very, very atmospheric. Another example, “Beneath the Burial Surface”, is also pretty fast, after 8 min. or so, Morfeus- lead guitar, backing vocals, and keymaster, plays this melodic slow atmospheric piano piece while the guitars and drums are still at a high velocity. As Lieff would put it; “How many bands could pull off piano parts in their songs and actually make it work?”. Well, LIMBONIC ART does it in every song and has released an album that is excellent. Another thing I want to mention, just cause, is the art work. When I looked at the cover, it reminded me of something I would see in a Japanese Animation movie. When I looked to see who they got the art work from, it said; Cover Art by Morfeus. I was highly impressed! So either he’s taking credit for something he didn’t do or he’s an excellent artist, both musically and in drawing / painting. This CD is an excellent piece of work that fans of MASTERS HAMMER, ARCTURUS, and EMPEROR should enjoy. This CD is distro. By NECROPOLIS REC. and FULL MOON PROD. in the U.S., I suggest you buy this.
