THE REVIEW

Yes, it's a duplicate

So why bring it up again?

3 very simple reasons:

  1. Because the Crown Of Autumn are known by just a handful of shabby cats who will soon stop running on roofs, preferring to stay secluded at the edges of sidewalks, nibbling on the leftovers abandoned in trash bins.
  2. Because if you like symphonic and cunning black in the style of Cradle Of Filth (from the nineties) and epic atmospheres and you think they can't meet, with this little disc you will change your mind.
  3. Because it's fair to remember that in the nineties in Italy, they didn't just do commercial power epic nonsense like Vision Divine or Rhapsody (which might be spelled differently but who cares, they don't count for anything anyway).

What do you say? Could more things have been said about this band? This review is even worse than the others I've written? Yes, you're absolutely right but until they bring back a decent homepage, I will adapt to the site's devolution (does this word exist? Well, let's pretend it exists and you understood it).

Well, I'm done...

Let the rain begin.

 The album moves between symphonic and orchestrated parts, especially in the spoken track named "In Ageless Slumber."

 The forty-one minutes of the album pass by excellently, perfectly balancing melody and violence, class and elegance, and aggression.
