ColdWorld - Melancholie² (2008)

Band: ColdWorld
Album: Melancholie²
Year: 2008
Country: Germany
It's November and winter is just waiting around the corner, in fact we already had the first snow a couple of weeks ago. Time to start planning for Christmas, what are you gonna have on your vegan christmas buffe, where and with who are you gonna spend the holidays and when in between all the planning and stress are you gonna have a heart attack? Well I say screw that. Instead of going through all that most normal people do I suggest that you download this album and let yourself be reminded of the beauty of the winter times. Inspired by band such as Burzum this one man band combines atmospheric black metal with cold ambient and a hint of classic music. This is a masterpiece in depressive black metal and the soundtrack to my winter.

Songs(s) you should listen to: Tortured By Solitude
This is a song that instantly sticks in your head. The main riff is what makes this song so good. In fact the word "good" is an insult to the song, it's simply amazing and one of the best riffs I've ever heard in a Black Metal-band. I remember playing this song to a friend who loved the music but said that the vocals destroyed the song for him. If your not into this kind of music I can understand that but for me the vocals is perfectly suited for this. Georg Börners monotonous chant-like vocals is filled with despair and you can really feel the pain and tormention behind every word.
Hymn to Eternal Frost
A song that stands out from the rest of the album since it's actually quite uplifting and joyfull. Don't get me wrong it still has that lonely and sorrowfull vibe to it but instead of making you want to burst out in tears it puts a sad smile on your face instead. Check it for yourself and you will see what I mean, you won't get disappointed.
