RottingChris Oh man, i just don't know more to say about this album as followed: You have to grab a copy now! The title is more than suitable for the musical and icy landscapes you'll be confronted with. The whole album is an instrumental one, excluding my favorite track. Enjoy! Favorite track: On Icy Shores (feat Manuel Vicari).

CARPAGE An absolutely beautiful Post Metal album by these Romanians.. Their debut EP had vocals on all three tracks and was enjoyable, but this LP leaves it in the dust. Only one track has vocals on this release and they are certainly not needed. Their all instrumental tracks breathe and flow with one beautiful riff after another, foregoing vocals gives Fjord a focus that is quite simply remarkable. Picking a favorite track is a burden but back against a wall, probably FADING SUN takes it. Favorite track: Fading Sun.

Darkness, almost, conquered the light On Icy Shores, my dreams lie sleeping A frozen sun, but warm inside It seems to light my recent sky So let the cold winds grant a new sunrise Be gone. My endless night Be gone. My endless night The balance of life and death, still in my hands And images of young stars approaching The vision is closer again On Icy Shores I will stay. I will keep my faith. Be gone. My endless night. My new day is going to rise My endless night. My new day is going to rise Be gone, my endless night, goodbye. Welcome new day of mine. Chorus: Fragile, Enchanted, Glacial tears, Wake up, My frozen hopes.

about

"On Icy Shores" is about the the journey of the hopeless soul who gives up living. But escape is within our reach. We just need to realize that it all depends on us, having the strenght to give purpose and meaning to one's path.
With this album, we tried to recreate this sinusoidal path of life, through musical context and song title. We chronologically pass through a univers full of possibilities, amibiguity, nostalgy, despair only for, in the end, to relink with our old acquaintance, hope.
