Here’s the first album review of the year! ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Background I don’t know what’s with me and solo black metal but Celestial Shadows is a solo project of Benjamin Penfold-Marwick a black metal artist from Perth. The Wheel and the Fire is their 8th studio album.  ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ It starts off very ominous with a slow guitar but faster drums to really sell  before fading out. The next track immediately hits you in the face with a much faster tempo and harsh vocals on briefly slowing down. The next track continues much the same going back and forth between fast and slow. At this point I really couldn’t see what was experimental about this experimental black metal. Everything was so painfully standard just second wave black metal with maybe some blackened death thrown in. Now I do love both of those genres but it isn’t ...

It features contributions from other members of Negative Bliss and Ember Belladonna on flute. I would classify it as avant-grade black metal but I’ve also seen it called progressive black metal or even symphonic. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Track by track breakdown The album opens with the track Yellow which is a fully acoustic track featuring a flute part performed by Ember Belladonna.

Introduction

Hey harlots!!! ₍₍⚞(˶>α—œ<˶)⚟⁾⁾ My name is Hildegard and welcome to my blog. So little about me personally I'm 16 years old and from Arizona.  I'm just a loser with a bunch of hobbies and too many thoughts.        Most importantly I'm a metalhead! \m/ I like all kinds of metal (except thrash) but my favorite subgenre is progressive metal. I'm huge fan of Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, Caligula's Horse, Haken, and Dyssidia. Also I do like prog rock, punk, and goth but I still mostly listen to metal.  The other most important thing about me is that I love history. It's always been super interesting especially the history of religion and magic. I do also like the late roman republic and european and middle eastern history more generally.  I do, as I said, have lot of interests and it would take forever to talk about them all so I'll just list them. So I do, calligraphy, illumination, sew, embroider, make jewelry, do nails, makeup, hair, collect...
