black metal
Insomnia is an album by German atmospheric black metal act Antigone’s Fate, released on January 26. Almost fifty minutes long, the album has four long tracks: In endlosen Eiswüsten..., Mauern aus Glas, Insomnia 32.3 and Monumente des Verfalls. A beautiful, solemn and pleasant melodic BM album, these four songs are filled with the simple, intense and gentle legitimacy of exceedingly sensible and profound harmonies, upon which its consistency is marvelously defined with the serenity of an eternal haze, that revolves around the arteries of a heart that lives by the sinister and genuine delicacy of a universe lost at the wisdom of its own poetic miseries, but brilliantly emphasizing through the peripheral lines of its vivacious majestic sentiments the singularity of its own sincere creative propositions.
With wonderful guitar lines, and a very intelligent sense of atmospheric density – pointed by a strong cohesion envisioned by a rational unity –, Insomnia is a very reluctant, but splendidly artistic album, that distorts the imperative intonations of its categorical sonorous relevance, around its own precious hyperboles of monumental passion, getting closer to epic moments of everlasting plenitude.
The sound of this album, sometimes, goes far beyond the obvious borders defined by the realm of imagination. With an incredible sense of austerity, and continual harmonies that transcend the overlooking shadows of its own melancholic, but at the same time, vividly expansive sonorous expositions, this album inserts at the greatest tower of its own authorial melodies the fantastic elements of its own splendorous audacities.
Despite the fact that Insomnia is a good album, there are certain passages in this work that sounds too generic at times, and the experience becomes tiresome at a certain level, since the sound invariably gets too closely familiar with other ordinary acts of the genre. Nevertheless, putting forward those deficiencies, this album has very sensible and peculiar arrangements, and a greatly composed craft. With a tremendous potential to be greatly authorial, Antigone’s Fate is a fantastic representative of atmospheric and melodic BM, and has an original degree of talent, that certainly can make them unique in the underground music scene.
