demo
Third Eye Of The Crone : Fables for the Disenchanted -EPcdr- (UK,2007)****'
This is a promising demo from a duo consisting of Lord Ravenswold lll and Aram dela Rosa. The (male, female or dual) vocals are slightly dreamy, in a neo-folk and psychfolk troubadour style, with minor key and rhythmical picking guitar. There is some additional use of bells and flute-like tones of electric guitar on “We cometh and we passeth away”, or some echoing tones, like vibrations in the sky, on “gently is the way”, or also some idea of sweet psychedelic wahwah-like sounds of electronics or guitar (hard to tell) on the last track, “Shadow of the dial”. The collection of songs sound inspired like poetry. The vocals aren’t recorded too well, or have a bit of distortion, but this doesn’t disturb too much, or this still fits into the mood of it. On “wooden woods” also the flute has a strange recorded sound, with an almost ghost/owl-like effect. The vocals also show some some heartfelt variations, which makes songs like “night kills the day” memorable. I hope the group will be able to make their deserved first real CD soon.
