Solefald
have with World Metal. Kosmopolis Sud achieved a mesmerizing piece of
art.
You are reading right.
I refuse to reduce their newest release to words,
when Solefald themselves already
are doing it so
perfectly. This is an album you need to obviously
listen to and also appreciate the lyrical part of.
I wasn't expecting that "the opposite" of Norrønasongen.
Kosmopolis Nord previously reviewed on these pages could be defined by the
sound of World Metal. Kosmopolis Sud,
which shows once more that Solefald's capacity of musical
abstraction goes beyond what the fan of long date could ever
think of.
I'm sure
that both fans of In Harmonia
Universali, of symphonic metal, black-metal, German industrial music, noise,
"art", African instruments, lyrics in different cosmopolitan languages, and what
more, will appreciate World Metal. Kosmopolis Sud.
Despite Solefald modestly stating "I have nothing more to offer
than emotional tourism".
This is extreme, audacious music in many ways. Would you
lend me an ear on these last words
to trust, my friends.
