Guardian Sorrow - A Castle Under a Curse
A 15-minute tape is sometimes all it takes. Why stretch it all away on a shiny Compact Disc? (with another shiny (and glossy) computerized booklet off course). 15 minutes of pure dungeon synth, the kind of scary and cursed ancient-castle sort of. The Castle of Vlad Tepes, Moosham castle, Chateau De Brissac, Castle of Bardi or our own Danish castle Dragsholm Castle. All of them, sort of cursed and haunted more or less.
I can say the same thing about this debut EP release by Spanish Guardian Sorrow. Also released (by Guadian Sorrow)is another cassette (The Ruins of an Empire Forged by Love) which follows in a more black-metal orientated style. These 2 cassettes have then also been compiled onto a CD called The Land of Ancient Ruins. Which you off course can check up on his official Bandcamp site.
As I have said earlier, this is the kind of gothic-horror sort of Dungeon Synth. If you´ve seen Herzog´s version of Nosferatu with Klaus Kinski, then you probably know what kind of horror I am referring to. Eerie, haunting, deep and foreboding material. And it is good, it really is. And I must confess (Although I said earlier that 15 minutes is enough!), that a LONG tape with this act could well end up on my wish list!. Think EARLY Raison d´être at its darkest moments, or just old-school dungeon synth with a nod to gothic horror. Another cult jewel in the dungeon synth realm!
