Ltd Ed Digipack incl. Bonus Track. Sixth Album
from the Norwegian Gothic Metal Band Not unlike
the phoenix, Trail of Tears rises from the ashes
presenting their sixth album with a newfound
strength. Bloodstained Endurance unites the best
elements of past releases and advances them to a
new level. Hard metal riffs and a pulsing rhythm
section form the foundation for sweeping and
emotive vocal duels between Ronny Thorsen and
Cathrine Paulsen, whose unique voice, which can
also be heard on the bands first album, delivers
the necessary goose bump factor. The duo
impressively crowns the symphonically arranged
keyboard and orchestral passages. Terje Refsnes of
the legendary Soundsuite Studios provides the
perfect sound, as he also did on Tristania and
Sirenias most successful releases, while Finnvox
gives Bloodstained Endurance the final polish in
the mastering department. Moving Gothic Metal that
distances itself from all clichs- A very
impressive renaissance indeed!
