In Memoriam by Crowned in Sorrow
Epic, heavy, and somber describes the moments as you are taken on an emotional journey, engulfed in a wall of sound and atmosphere. Layer upon layer of interweaving melodies fuse together with bombastic 8-string guitars, fretless bass, piano, atmospheric acoustic guitar, soaring leads, and choirs which give way to intense guttural vocals and passionate vocal harmonies. Crowned in Sorrow crafts its own sound with a nod to influences such as Swallow the Sun, Shape of Despair, Paramæcium, Opeth, Schaliach, and November's Doom.
Lyrically, this album takes a faith-based approach and deals with death, grief, and loss as every song is about someone or something in my life that has died.
9/10 "...an epic and impressive piece of art" -The Metal Onslaught
