Obsidian Kingdom - Mantiis - An Agony In Fourteen Bites (2012), Progressive/Post-Black Metal Opera

Не рецензую. Просто цікавий дебютний альбум від іспанців. Опера в тегах стосуєтсья лише побудови альбому - це фактично один трек. Оперних вокалів тут нема, проте стилів намішано сила силенна! У прес-релізі все чьотко сказано: "Mantiis – An agony in fourteen bites” (2012) is a conceptual album, featuring a single song divided into fourteen tracks which flow through different genres. Taking part in the long-lived tradition of rock operas – such as those created by David Bowie or King Diamond –, the album embarks the listener in an eerie musical trip, noted for the coherent exploration of a wide range of styles and emotions. With a progressive character and a post-modern approach, its influences can be traced from the melancholy of Akira Yamaoka to the heaviness of Cult of Luna, including the experimental style of Ulver or Pink Floyd sound’s heritage. Defying both tradition and their Black Metal origins, Obsidian Kingdom continue to tread their own path in an untiring search for their own unique style, aside from convention or style boundaries.
