    There's no other band out there that can capture the specific magic of Solstice. Lamentations, Halcyon, New Dark Age and White Horse Hill all stand distinct from each other in their details and character and, more importantly, they stand distinct from all other heavy metal/doom bands. One of the best.

    "The Sleeping Tyrant"
    Out of reach in realms beyond
    All light and truth the hidden son
    From bloodied womb father creation
    Narcissus high among the suns
    Under inanimate lakes of carrion pallor
    Where the weight of purity bore him down
    Enthroned on thorns of brimstone fury
    The thief of always anoints his brow
    Legion guide us, calvary calls
    Entwined in threads of earthbound lust
    The blood of Hubris rising (fearful)
    Cast him down, nay cast him out
    Beneath sombre forest funeral halflight
    And moonsoaked spires of mighty oak
    Titans march to summers death throes
    Valour gilded hearts to overthrow
    (The Sleeping Tyrant)

    • @lordgeyik
      @lordgeyik 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You can call this Epic Doom Metal. More close to type of doom you hear in Candelmass' music. The "default" doom metal in most people's mind is probably more closer to Doom/Death (My Dying Bride, early Anathema) or Doom/Gothic (Paradise Lost, Tiamat).

    • @caljerm
      @caljerm 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There's a sort of "folkiness" to it. As strange as it sounds, two bands that immediately came to mind when I started listening to this were Dissection and Rotting Christ - even though those two are VERY different in a lot of ways, there are some guitar hooks that just struck me as connecting very strongly to stuff from RC'sThy Mighty Contract and Dissection's Storm of the The Light's Bane and Reinkaos albums.
