Marblebog "Wind of Moors" CD

Recorded in 2002 - 2004. Limited to 1000 copies. Dungeon Synth / Dark Ambient

Marblebog, the Hungarian one-man black ambient metal project, is known for its approach toward black metal. Eschewing the wall of sound riffing that a lot of black metal bands are known for, Marblebog goes the way of bands like Summoning and Vinterriket, playing black metal sort of with the tone of Burzum's Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, while adding ambience with synthesizers and other electronic instruments.
So it comes as a suprise that this album, Wind of Moors, is an all ambient album. Marblebog does the black ambient metal style so well, that this seems totally unnecessary. But the fact is, this album is very well made. Each ambient track has some interesting soundscapes that flow well from one section to another. The whole album runs very well together, I barely noticed that the songs changed. Some sections are more minimalist than others (the final track was, IMO, more like Velvet Cacoon's Bete Noir toward the end), but this variation makes this album interesting. And of course, the quality of the music that we've come to expect from this project is there, and makes this album an enjoyable listen. I hope there's another all-ambient album in the horizon.
