In a nutshell, “Realm of Ashes” is an album of moods where each track showcases a different one very well planned as hell. From the genre point of view, are a Timor Et Tremor modern band that manages very well the emotions and tensions created here. It’s a hodgepodge of Metal music as many other bands are today. An outcome of more than 50 years of Metal bands influences that shaped our beloved kind of music and that are at hand for everyone to use them as they please. Some tracks as “Of Wolf and Sun” are exactly this representation of Metal music at its best regarding to all the influences it suffered in those years and more the ones the bands were incorporating. Its complex emotions mirrored by the vocal duets and the melodic guitars tell this tale to the child of the night who listens to the album. It’s noticiable that Timor Et Tremor worked hard to build all the layers of sounds that make the song unique. I guess that hardcore Black Metal fans wouldn’t like a band like this exactly for all the melody, but for me, it’s just perfect as I adore these musical contradictions and contrasts. Lirically, I’d say the vocals in the album have something of romantic. Not the laymen romantic, but the romantic as iun the literature and imagery. I got that idea by looking at the CD cover. All this obssesion by death and illnesses.
Timor Et Tremor “Realm of Ashes” was released on October 28th via Trollzorn Records.
