专辑介绍
by Stewart Mason
Part of the Scandinavian goth metal scene (Norwegian division), Trail of Tears put a symphonic metal gloss on otherwise standard goth metal as it moves through extensive use of Rick Wakeman-style prog pop synthesizers and occasional female vocals -- check out the chorus of the almost poppy "Denial and Pride," which could pass for Peter Gabriel-era Genesis in a really bad mood -- that brings the group closer to the more accessible end of the style. The usual clichés of the genre are present and accounted for -- singer Ronny Thorsen's lyrics have the usual "I-am-a-golden-God" imagery favored by those who have never quite gotten that Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" was meant as a joke, and he usually sings them in that comical Muppet-character growl (so favored by European metallers) over Michael Krumins and Terje Heiseldal's permanently chugging guitars -- but there's a clever use of atmospherics and dynamics (soft/loud, male/female, electric/acoustic) that suggests something more. The closing "Bloodred Trance" is genuinely exciting and dramatic, and the limited-edition version's closing cover of Faith No More's "Caffeine" suggests a fruitful new direction in twisted progressive metal that Trail of Tears would do well to explore further.

- @金属聚集地：美女与野兽的对话！
- @Jack Robot(Turambar)：曲目有错，谁来重新发布……没有Bloodred Trance。
- @Earendel：电子加得太多了，那个东西好像是这样的吧。tristania也有。
- @Earendel：原来他们就不使用布兰诗歌了……原来tristania那两人喜欢中世纪……所以=.=
- @Earendel：没有附赠音轨……\"Caffeine\" (Faith No More cover)
- @Earendel：……怎么听都能听到tristania的影子 Kya (Modo corvo n...) 2013-08-13 23:33 其实有点像，但是ToT这张专辑明显合成器成分占太多了。 Kya (Modo corvo n...) 2013-08-13 23:40 Liquid view那首特别像Tristania...
- @Earendel：T-T泪奔了。
- @Earendel：我觉得这张专应该受world of glass影响。 人为爱所累 (只要你能记住我，哪怕用恨) 2016-12-26 10:33 我也听出了world of glass的味道，编曲很像，而且女声和vibeke太像，甚至更好。
- @Kya(Modo corvo n...)：绝对纯正的北欧歌金精品。
