This review is from: Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame (Audio CD)

ahem...cough...truely awesome epic metal excellence here... My first 'encounter' with summoning was during the glory days of audiogalaxy, when i downloaded Minas Morgul out of pure curiosity. This album features a more polished Summoning but still magnificent and with an unforgettable atmosphere. and what an amazing cover art!
This is complex music (symphonic arrangements, ecclectic instrumentation, heavily used melodic layering) but you'll never skip once through the cd. you just listen to all 55 minutes of it. and then over again, to make sure it's all real.
The black metal vocals are still there, contributing to the album's chilling atmosphere.
I can never recommend this enough.
A new power is rising...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great atmospheric music,, December 19, 2003

This review is from: Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame (Audio CD)

This is wonderful atmospheric music in the vein of Tolkien's works. True, this is considered a metal band but the music is accessible to all and the vocals shouldn't put anyone off. In fact,they enhance the mood of the album.
The band, while they use alot of syth and keyboard, still manages to make it sound like they have an entire orchestra at their diposal. In fact, a considerable number of tracks here could easily fit into a movie score.
The ending song is especially moving as they use a clean male vocals, and what sounds like a chorus to accompany him.
The only reservation that I have is that some of the tracks are repetitive, but overall it still has an enjoyable and unique sound to it.
I hope Summoning continues on the artistic path they have chosen for themselves.

In my opinion that's a pure msterpiece. This album is my favorite Summoning's one. Believe it or not, but it is super highly-addictable music, and thus I listened to it for a full year after I have bought it. Especially the last track. 8)

One of my TOP10 albums, and that'a a LOT! 8)
