Our Take

ECNEPHIAS: The Sad Wonder Of The Sun

If there's one thing that Italian symphonic black metal band ECNEPHIAS knows how to do, it's creating a brooding, atmospheric ambience that will transport you to the depths of despair faster than you can say "ciao bella". Their latest album, The Sad Wonder Of The Sun, is a swirling cauldron of swirling guitars, haunting choirs, and demonic growls that will leave you questioning your very existence. It's like being trapped in a gothic cathedral during a thunderstorm, but in a good way.

The album opens with the title track, a slow-burning epic that sets the tone for the rest of the journey. From there, tracks like "The Firewalker" and "Zardanadam" delve deeper into the darkness, with layers of melody and malevolence intertwining to create a truly mesmerising listening experience. The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line coming through crystal clear, allowing each haunting melody to seep into your soul.

But it's not all doom and gloom on The Sad Wonder Of The Sun. Tracks like "A Sad Man's Tale" and "Quimbanda" inject a dose of gothic romance into the mix, with catchy hooks and infectious rhythms that will have you headbanging in no time. Overall, ECNEPHIAS have delivered an album that is as captivating as it is haunting, a must-listen for any fan of symphonic black metal or anyone looking to add a touch of darkness to their music collection. Grazie, ECNEPHIAS, for taking us on this beautifully macabre journey.
