Midnight Odyssey - Shards Of Silver Fade (2015)

Band: Midnight Odyssey
Album title: Shards Of Silver Fade
Release date: 8 June 2015
Label: I, Voidhanger Records

Midnight Odyssey did an album that is and has everything what you'll be wanting from a dark ambient metal music. Album of the year? Album of the decade? Maybe, or at least a strong candidate for that title, and note that this is an one-man band masterminded by a person/artist from Australia named Dis Pater. Shards Of Silver Fade is an otherwordly musical journey that will take your mind into the places you can't even imagine. Once the first notes begin to play the whole new world opens up, a travel through ancient world, pagan lands, middle earth, witnessing heroic battles, going into galaxies unknown, yet it makes you find the place in the universe, being given a spiritual connection with everything around you, making you feel alive and very much part of the existence around you. There's so much of emotion, anger, melancholy, even nostalgia, everything wrapped in the elegant and touchy soundscape. It's epic by all means, the majestic cinematic ambiances are so vivid, still the main body leans to atmospheric black metal.
