Indignant, Mother Nature speaks. If only humankind had listened! Now, bloody warpaint replaces funereal black. The time for mourning and mercy is past. Cast their bones into the fire!
On a brighter note, many's the time I’ve drifted off into blissful reverie, listening to the ethereal last track only to awaken reempowered, as in the wake of a ritual. Kingdoms Bathed in Golden Light resides in my pantheon of unforgettable music: a memento of magic in an existential chapter past. The Disillusioned One
Dans son remaster de 2023, Heretoir précise que son premier album éponyme "was [...] dedicated to those who feel". Évoquant le thème du deuil, la mort y est présente partout, elle hante chaque seconde : Eklatanz hurle comme s'il n'était plus que l'ombre de lui-même ("Fatigue") et certaines mélodies dépressives serrent le cœur ("Graue Bauten") ; mais Heretoir est surtout un album vivant : on y traverse plusieurs étapes illuminées de magnifiques passages acoustiques. C'est d'une grande beauté ! Jordan Vauvert
Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
This is one of the first albums I heard after discovering this Bandcamp goldmine about 6 years ago. I have listened to it many times in YouTube. I think it was about time to show my respects to the author. Davccelion
