Ancient bards – Origine (The Black Crystal Sword Saga Part 2)

Label: Limb Music
Releasedate: 25 January 2019

“Origine (The Black Crystal Sword Saga Part 2)” is the fourth creature by the Italian symphonic metal band “Ancient bards”. The band has international audience, several great performances worldwide and the starter 5-tracks demo CD “Trailer (Of The Black Crystal Sword Saga)”, which made them famous, on its back.

First of all, go to Facebook page and watch the intriguing promo of the record. The wonderful landscape will involve you in the mystery. The Black Crystal Sword saga contains 10 tracks this time. The opening one tells you some story about genesis. Then “Impious Dystopia” brings all the canons of symphonic metal: mighty melody, much of keyboards, fantastic legend. By the way, the band chosen “Impious Dystopia” and “Light” singles as worthy to be filmed. As the key track also can be pointed “The Hollow”, the most Nordic one. Sharp, tight and melodic. For long tracks lovers there is almost 15 minutes (not a record but anyway) “The great divide” which has different parts: light female vocals, dark male growling, variously melodies

The album perfectly matches as soundtrack for fantasy role-playing video games with all that knights, swords, wizards, etc. If you one of the team then “Origine” wouldn’t disappoint you.
