A Dark Forgotten Past, released on December 1st, is the most recent album by Norwegian atmospheric black metal project Eldamar. Fifty two minutes long, the record has seven tracks: Return Of Darkness, Another Journey Begins, In Search For New Wisdom, A Secret By The Branches, Ancient Sorcery, The Passing and New Understanding. One of the greatest names on contemporary atmospheric black metal, the intelligent and wisely calculated flirting Eldamar does on this record with symphonic elements has brought on this specific album, A Dark Forgotten Past, a splendidly solid, virtuous, lucid and gracefully artistic aura of solemn wisdom, solitary creativity and intrinsic authenticity. This is a very beautiful and enthusiastically melodic work, sometimes fueled by a generous dose of primeval sensitivity, decisively structured at the height of its peculiar and deeply continual universe of ancient harmonious sonorous conflagration by a concentrated state of mind that widely reads the fortifying elements of integrity that sleeps at the center of the human soul.
A splendidly poetic artistic vision that has on the density of its majestic melodies a firm, but dreaming sonorous horizon, A Dark Forgotten Past is a wonderful litany to distant universes, that can only be captured with the pulsating heart of an everlasting sleep. Carrying over ancient myths at the crest of its serene, but overtly incisive harmonies, this work standardizes over the rainbow of its colorful depressing enigmas the lenient sincerity of its own anticipating formulas of sonorous constrictions and forbidden reactions.
With a monumental and colossal sound that covers an entire universe of graceful sensibilities, as well as a profoundly expansive, but unimaginable profusion of thoughts, this album extrapolates on the frontiers of its consistent sound the most infallible and immaculate elements of atmospheric black metal, in a zone of infinite conscious spams. With a precious and sensible component that elevates the cosmogony of human principles, Eldamar intensely precedes in his continuous symphony of ascendant poetic sagacity an aurora of invisible platforms of sound, precisely inserted at the apex of a peaceful acceptance of genuine musical art.
A consistent record that brings about the best the genre has to offer, in a perfectly saturated deflagration of sonorous grandiosity, A Dark Forgotten Past is a monumental insignia of higher virtuosity, that strengthens on the shape of its cathartic musical anatomy the spiritual endeavor of a splendorous galaxy that sleeps in the depth of our hearts, but can be awaken, if the proper melody is activated, at the borderline of our conscience. A more philosophical work, whose explicit and reflexive beauty resides at the smile of a melancholic surface, A Dark Forgotten Past is a perpetual symphony for the eternal winds of winter, that inadvertently seeks at the pure sensibility of sad and distant eyes the infinity of an existence that can never be deciphered.
