Uaral, the moment when I listened their sacred music I came to aware that life is more austere than death. The duo combined the real feelings, the real emotions and all the grief with their heart. This is soul touching music. In my opinion, unclassifiable. Uaral is love not lust. I seriously don't have words to describe the music. Something coming from the dark melancholy woods with swamps around the lake of tears and the mist around with a cold silence, nocturnal. The Chilean country-side and Uaral himself had inspired Aciago & Caudal so much that they inherited the mentor’s heritage in their veins and transformed in the form of their compositions.
"Sounds of Pain..." is the band's debut
full-length. The lyrical theme mostly deals with sorrow, nature and experience
of life with the use of classical Latin acoustic style guitar, flute and piano
creates a mournful atmosphere. Much of the music in the album has a long
passage of mixed instruments mainly acoustics and less vocals. The vocals are
deep guttural growls creates a strong doom/death metal influence also
Empyrium's Schwadorf style clean singing creates folk/atmospheric black metal
environment. The songs also has laments, crying and all the bemoaning. I just
lost in the chants, the whispering winds and the sound of rains. The sound
varies with a non-linear song structure throughout the album.
This thing is a masterpiece. A perfect piece of
depressive yet progressive music. Do read the interview of the duo on their
un-official website. It sounds like souls are talking not humans. Bunch of
thanks to the Iranian fans for making the website.
The epilogue is, listen this on a cold frosty
night with full moon. You will be pleased. One of the best blend of
doom/black/folk.
