Cyclopean Sorrows

by Garadrak

supported by

Gabriel Tamas Definitely the most mature effort by Garadrak so far. Although the analog gave a whole new dimention to his music, I dare say that isn't the sole reason behind the almost entirely new soundscape crafted by the artist. Garadrak matured and Cyclopean Sorrows is the proof. The soundscape is more thightly knit, the atmosphere is more evocative than ever before amd on a couple of songs one can easily notice different approaches than on the previous albums. A turning point in the artist's discography! Favorite track: Forever Dreaming in The Baleful Mist.

about

The weary traveler's decaying ship reaches barren shores of a mist covered land. He leaves the mountain hugged, rancid waters of the Northwestern sea behind and embarks on an unsure journey, recollecting the little he knows about this place.
Poisonous sea breeds poisonous air and distant volcanoes blow their smoky breath over the remains of a once prosperous kingdom. Trees grow rotten and few creatures call this place home. And they are inhuman beasts, twisted by what certain tales call the magic of giants; force no ordinary soul can truly master, for its melancholic nature leaves the mind and body strangely bent. Some even say the dead come back to life from time to time to roam the empty halls of decrepit palaces and crippled temples. Such is the fate and state of the kingdom called Kalegir, where cyclopean sorrows dwell.
Yet the traveler knows he must push forward and reach the fabled sanctum whose entrance is fronted by two pillars, each standing on a side of a narrow ravine; only then can he awaken the cloistered daughter and mourn. He is bound to face many dangers on his solitary journey but he is not the only stranger in this far away land in pursuit of a peculiar quest; an ally or two might be encountered whose company could ease the pain of feeling lost.

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127
