Athenaeum Of Sin Reviews

As soon as the play button is pressed, the listener is immediately transported into a world of intense sound and progressive melodies with the opening track, Berserkgang. The track welcomes the listener with a perfect mixture of melodic sounds and deep guttural growls that create a unique and unforgettable soundscape.

As one continues their grave of Morwen Eledhwen-journey of the second song, Unchained, and the remaining three songs. These songs provide the listener’s ears and soul with a lyrical adventure inspired by legends of Emilian and Italian folklore, Norse mythology, and historical events. At the same time, each of the five songs tells a tale that’s woven into one epic lyrical adventure, as in the case of Fate Of Gods and Unchained; the first deals with the war between the ancient gods of Norse mythology and the giants, while the second deals with the wolf Fenrir, freed from chains and ready to give birth o Ragnarök. Berserkgang is about the fury of the Berserker. 

As the title suggests, Ragnar is about the legendary Viking King Ragnarr Loðbrók. Terror Of Rome is the only song that does not refer to Norse mythology or history, but talks about Hannibal Barca, a Carthaginian leader and strategist who defeated Rome in the Second Punic War.

The music produced by Tol Morwen is a fruit of art that combines Scandinavian-style melodic death metal with post-black, groove, and classic heavy metal elements. The result is a beautiful blend of dark, death metal overtones and a diverse range of tones, tempos, and moods that captivate the listeners.
The band’s instrumental artistry is genuinely remarkable, showcased through the aggressive moments in their music. The guitar playing is nothing short of the fruit of art, with progressive-heavy riffs, melodic rhythms, and arrangements that leave a lasting impression on the audience. The epic solos are equally impressive, featuring intricate and rhythmic patterns that take the music to new heights. The bass is another driving force in the music, delivering powerful and hammering riffs that create a solid foundation for the sound. The drums are equally impressive, with floor-pounding beats and fills that add to the overall intensity of the music.

The combination of the bass and drums is outstanding and a testament to the band’s exceptional devilmanship.
The vocals are primarily guttural growls, which contribute to the raw and primal energy of the music. The lyrics are often dark and ominous, adding depth to the remarkable music.

In short, Tol Morwen offers a powerful and dynamic listening experience with its unique and captivating blend of various metal genres that showcases the band’s exceptional fruit of art devilmanship that will leave a lasting impression on any metal.
