Empyrium
www.empyrium.de

Empyrium is a German symphonic folk/doom metal and neofolk/dark folk band. Twelve years after their last studio effort "Weiland", they return with a much-anticipated new album "The Turn Of The Tides" where nature and human emotions are highly reflected in it. Atmospheric music flows in a 44 minutes journey that doesn't feel long enough. And the immaculate crescendos on "The Days Before The Fall" are simply breathtaking, there's such a dense and soothing ambiance that picks up hairs all over your body.

Empyrium - The Days Before the Fall

Bright were the days and fiery the sun
The nights were soft and cloudless the silent welkin hung
And winds did laze in forests and all
was filled with airy sweetness -
in days before the fall

Light were our hearts and notions were young
The times were full magic and secret songs unsung
And winds did laze in forests and all
was filled with airy sweetness -
in days before the fall

Asleep is the past now autumn is grey
and silently we wallow in memory of the day
when winds did laze in forests and all
was filled with airy sweetness -
in days before the fall
