来自加拿大的民谣旋黑团,2007年他们以Profugus Mortis的名字推出了首张专辑[So It Begins] 然后在2008年改名为Blackguard,又早今年以老名字作为专辑名字推出了他们的第二张专辑。
专辑以宏大的交响开场,节奏汹涌澎湃,唱腔黑死混杂,带着民谣的轻快优美,旋律更是好听得一踏糊涂。但上一张专辑中悠扬的小提琴不见了,键盘倒是抢了不少风头。
Profugus Mortis is the second album by Canadian melodic death metal band Blackguard. This is their first release under the name "Blackguard", and it uses their old band name "Profugus Mortis" as the album title. This is also their last album to have a very strong folk metal influence since they have gotten into a more power metal sound. Paul Ablaze uses the term Epic Metal when he describes the genre of Blackguard as a whole. It combines the elements of folk, symphonic, power, black, and death metal to create the "Epic Metal" sound that they produce. Capitalizing on the best moments offered up on So It Begins, the new album is a folk metal onslaught that redefines the genre and raises the bar to an all-time high.
