Again under the influence of
my dear friend Chris (x-Sickness), I will present u with a «problem». Do
you know any Austrian bands that really worth the attention? Of course we do,
is the answer. Metal still surprises us with inspirational and inspired, intuitive
yet classical, rhythms and moves, while selecting the next best thing to hear. Ok
if u take Venom off the picture Black Metal is not widely represented (we
wanted to do a post for Dark Tranquility but we tend to separate music from real
criminal intent, because we still are both sane and practical). So for today we
choose something unusual for our taste, but something convincingly answering,
with a great deal of mighty black power, to every question we wanted to ask, or
asked already. Preparing the way for the pioneers we make a pretty good start
with this awesome band form Austria
Summoning is an Austrian black metal band. Since their formation in 1993 they have
released seven albums and two EPs on Napalm Records. Their lyrics make extensive use of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth writings and mythology (e.g. "Mirdautas
Vras" is the first song ever to be written entirely in the Black Speech of Mordor.[1]). Summoning
showed the musical traits of a more traditional, raw black metal band, although
had a reverberated sound to the production. After this album, the band began to
develop a slower, denser, and more epic sound to their music, showcased in such
albums as 2001's Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame, and in 2006's Oath
Bound. Their trademark sound is characterized by very minimalistic and
quiet guitars often low in the mix, heavily programmed and reverberated drums, multi-layered
synthesizer and keyboard melodies mimicking a full orchestra which often
dominates the rest of the mix apart from the saturated drums. Vocals are still
sung in the traditional black metal fashion; however vocals are often heavily
reverberated as well. Male voice choir sections also make an appearance on the
albums Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame (on the song Farewell)
and Oath Bound (On the songs "Might and Glory" and "Land
of the Dead").
so ladies & gentlemen may we present to you their best 10 years (1996-2006, a period in which they released their masterpieces) of the Band called
