Scandinavian six piece Hanging Garden release their second offering this year after their Lifeforce Records debut At Every Door earlier this year. Known for their talent of bringing out the dueling emotions of depression and hope in their intricately influenced creations, available November 18th, I Was A Soldier is a unique if not perplexing fusion of death, doom, post rock, acoustic and folk influences.
Winter to Summer Adverse carries the cold Norwegian forest growl of opening the doors in the Opeth garden of sound. Led by a feminine voice to an almost indie rock stage going back and forth on the revolving swing between heavy growls and calm almost tranquil singing.
I Was A Soldier tag teams a similar sound melding the heavy metal modern rock opposites together into a natural ordered progression adding sung vocals reminiscent of Mushroomhead, Lou Reed and Covenant.
The dark dense atmosphere of Will You Share This End With Me paints lyrical soft-spoken whispered beauty alongside its classically metalized performance with an almost Type O Negative creative depressive energy.
