OUR GOD WEEPS - 'Prodromus' 7" (Ars Benevola Mater)
Beautiful release from this Hungarian act, known for their quality material on Hau Ruck! and MozgaloM, and live member of Kriegsfall-U. Melancholic black and white atmospheres accompanied by distant echoes of battles already forgotten. Epic Neo-Classical aria cross elegant musical ornaments of Mitteuropean source for an opera characterised by sounds which are marble-like in their form and brave in their spirit. Ltd x 479 thick vinyl copies in an elegant textured gatefold.
Dark Neoclassical music from Hungary. "Unity features beautifully constructed tracks where solemn keyboard passages combine with sweeping orchestrations against an ongoing undercurrent of martial percussion. The vocals are delivered in their native Hungarian tongue, and are particularly commanding. The lyrics are reproduced in an English translation within the booklet, which is graphically excellent. It's a particularly mature piece representing the third release from this solo-project commanded by Madura János, which could at points elicit comparison with Der Blutharsch, In The Nursery, Arcana and other Neoclassical outfits. There is spiritual beauty in the works of Our God Weeps" (Compulsion). Digipak.
