Ekklesiast
comes from Russia and "Cold" is their latest
release. It is three years old but believe me you will be
surprised by the music from these guys. First of all you will
hear that some of the songs are in their mother language and
this is a magic feeling at least in my ears.
For
sure the first time that you hear the band sing in their mother
language it will be a little bit strange, but when the music
starts to flow then you will adore it. Also i believe that
it could be easier in order to understand the whole concept
to have the English translation in the booklet. Anyway, the
album begins with a very melodic, melancholic slow track,
with male and some female vocals.
As
we will continue to hear the album from Ekklesiast
the band seems to have influences from My Dying Bride
and Katatonia. Also their compositions
are well worked, with some interesting ideas. I have the idea,
that if we had a more massive and heavy production then the
final result would be almost excellent. Maybe in their next
step they will be more focus in all the sections in order
to have a better result.
