 It is a work that is highly accessible, highly enjoyable, and leaves something behind after listening.

It's recommended especially for doom metal fans but is approachable for a broader metal audience. Listen to Passage’s melodic doom metal journey and explore a hidden gem in the genre.

 Isolation Songs stands out as one of the albums that most surprised me in 2009.

 Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields is truly an excellent work, emotional and touching, a perfect translation of the romantic themes expressed by many artists in the 19th century.

 "The conclusion of this masterpiece is entrusted to 'The Ensemble Of Silence', a sum of what the Germans proposed in the five previous tracks."

Empyrium’s Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields is a deeply emotional doom metal album inspired by Romanticism and nature’s sublime beauty.

 The immense pearl of the album is the cover of 'Disintegration' by the Cure, exceptional and moving.

 If there were no such small gaps, it would certainly be an album deserving the highest marks.

 "It's a record that speaks in a whisper, that seems to shout things you already know but, by whispering, it also reveals feelings and emotions not usually evoked by an everyday song."

 "An Old Friend Of The Christy’s earns the title of the best composition in this 'Frames'—slow, melancholic, and suffocating, it tears and rips everything it encounters."

 High-quality music releases have been somewhat scarce in these eight months of 2009, but you shouldn’t miss out on this album.

Thursday's Common Existence marks a significant step in the band's evolving sound. The album delivers strong guitars, intense rhythms, and emotionally charged vocals throughout. The reviewer highlights the tension maintained across the tracks without dips in interest. Production is praised for perfectly blending delicate melodies and explosive moments. This record stands out in 2009's alternative music scene as a must-listen. Listen to Thursday's Common Existence now and experience its emotional power and intense rock energy for yourself!

 It seems that our guys have almost put together a collection of "B-Sides" from Finisterra rather than having composed a new album.

 Mägo De Oz undoubtedly remain an extremely interesting entity in the Spanish metal panorama, but this time they slightly miss (not by much anyway) the mark.

This review recognizes Mägo De Oz's strengths in instrumentation and vocal delivery on La Ciudad De Los Arboles, but ultimately finds the album lacking the originality and spark that made Finisterra so memorable. While some tracks shine with energy and folk elements, others feel recycled or cliché. The band remains influential in the Spanish metal scene, but this album may not stand the test of time as strongly as its predecessor. Explore Mägo De Oz's La Ciudad De Los Arboles and decide if this album lives up to the legend or revisit their classic Finisterra!
