Wandering Oak – ‘Resillence’ (2024)

Posted on 21 March 2024 by Michel21 March 2024

Rating: 7.4/10 Release: 2 February 2024 Label: Independent Wandering Oak’s new album is a short but serviceable journey through ambient soundscapes, rumbling bottom-heavy riffing underlined with meaty growls, and soaring, dark and epic symphonies. It never reaches that almost ethereal highs of the black metal landscapes, neither does it reach … Continue reading →

Interview with Leaves’ Eyes

Posted on 25 February 2024 by Michel5 September 2024

Inspiration, Nature and all things Norse!

March 22, 2024, is the scheduled release for Leaves’ Eyes nineth studio album and this year celebrates 20 years of existence.  The German based band are leaders in the symphonic metal genre and have produced another masterpiece once again merging metal, folk and classical music with ‘Myths of Fate’.
On this release, the listener is thrusted back into songs that deal with old Norse myths, sprinkled with some Slavic lore and a touching a touching elegy written in tribute to Alex Krull’s mother.
Topics from Tyrfing, Iðunn, Rán and the Midgard serpent are just a few of the lyrical themes that are explored.  Overall ‘Myths of Fate’ delivers what we expect from a Leaves’ Eyes release and recently I interviewed Elina Siirala, lead singer of the band to get more insight into what inspires her and the band with their music and production.
