Rating: Six years after the previous "Simula et Dissimula" and following various EPs and live works, the one man band Fearbringer returns with a true album worthy of its name. "Tempus Fugit" is without a doubt the best work of the musician from Emilia; it doesn't lose anything of the good done in the past and finally finds its definitive essence thanks to a large use of clean vocals which have always been the distinctive aspect of Fearbringer's music and which in this album reach soaring and truly moving heights.
After a brief intro, "Tempus Fugit" without too much fuss opens its journey both dreamlike and glorious with the track "Battaglia Spirituale" in which the voice dominates, weaving epic and imposing melodies capable of evoking in the listener's mind wonderful and tempestuous images, an enthralling and engaging path that continues relentlessly in a succession of beautifully composed tracks and poetic lyrics with an archaic flavor, tracks like "Inno alla Stagione dell'Inverno" and the title track "Tempus Fugit" are more than eloquent demonstrations of this. A separate discussion is deserved for "La Fine dei Tempi," a completely instrumental track that, despite this, does not feel the lack of Fearbringer's big voice in the least, achieving the overall intent of being a complete track in itself lacking absolutely nothing.
The album concludes with five live bonus tracks, all taken from the band's early works, a sort of gift for all the fans of the lineup who well know that Fearbringer's live performances are an incredibly emotional spectacle.
"Tempus Fugit" was a highly anticipated work that does not disappoint for a second, an original album with an exquisitely unique sound in its genre, far from all the current trends of black metal and for this reason, a highly recommended listen!
"Divinità del passato
mutate i miei occhi in foglie d'alberi
sicchè in disparte possano piangere i tempi lontani
Divinità del presente
mutate le mie mani in tizzoni ardenti
sicchè io possa imprimere sulla pelle degli infimi
il vostro volere
Divinità del futuro
mutate il mio cervello in uno stormo di falchi
che possano volare in alto e lontano alla ricerca
della saggezza"
