V\u00f6lur\/Cares
\nBreathless Spirit
\n<\/i>(Batke Records)
\n4.5\/5<\/p>\n

Close your eyes and let Toronto-based experimental doom metal band V\u00f6lur and solo sound artist Cares take you on a fantastic adventure with collaborative effort Breathless Spirit<\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The album is musical storytelling at its best\u2014most of the narrative beats are told with carefully crafted classical and metal.<\/p>\n

Listening to this album is like watching a movie: the instruments and the vocals lead the listener from the beginning through the climax and to the end with beauty and finesse.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t heard anything else like it. Perhaps the closest sound I can think of is from Apocalyptica, but V\u00f6lur and Cares create a distinct style together. Playing metal using classical instruments is rare and beautiful when found. V\u00f6lur and Cares have made something to repeatedly listen to with Breathless Spirit<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The instrumentals are epic and are on the same level as Hans Zimmer\u2019s soundtrack for the Dune<\/i> films. Each song is a chapter in the tale the band is telling and blends the classical and metal elements seamlessly.<\/p>\n

The sounds from the violin, bass, and drums dance together effortlessly like Tom Bombadil and Goldberry setting the table for dinner for four hungry hobbits.<\/p>\n

So, open your heart and let the music in. Enjoy the mystical nature of these wonderful songs as they carry you to faraway places and immerse you in wonder. Every note ignited my imagination and made me want for more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The album also consists of two bonus tracks that are beauty incarnate. They are crafted, played, and mixed as masterly as the first six songs.<\/p>\n

For the best listening experience wear noise-cancelling headphones to capture all the delicious sounds of Breathless Spirit<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
