Above the Weeping World

Dense, literary melodic death metal from the Finnish woods. A masterclass in balancing crushing heaviness with a profound, poetic sense of loss.

It's like reading 19th-century gothic poetry while standing in a freezing Finnish forest.

A profound, literary sadness that feels as vast and indifferent as a winter landscape.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the transition from the atmospheric piano of 'The Gale' into the relentless dual-guitar assault of 'Mortal Share'
the use of the entire poem 'The Night Has a Thousand Eyes' as a soaring melodic chorus in 'Drawn to Black'
the final three minutes of 'In the Groves of Death' where the music dissolves into a haunting acoustic fade-out
