HERR | The Winter Of Constantinople
Steeped in tragedy and legionary heroism, this musical odyssey recreates
the penultimate 1453 siege of the Byzantine capital beside the shimmering
waters of the Bosphorus. A neo-classical cocktail of atmospheric keyboards,
cello and pounding drums frolic alongside militaristic anthems about European
imperium, hooliganism as modern warfare, vanquished heroes, Turkish hordes,
architectural majesty and defiant optimism. The diverse lyrical styles
and sheer breadth of instrumentation on this release make it one of the
most original and captivating albums of the last few years. Temporarily
sold out.
