Tristania - World of Glass 2001

1/26/2014::Album of the Day,,,

I love finding new music to listen to and think I may have found a gem. The Gothic Metal genre, I had never heard of it before this AM and as harsh as it may sound this was an enlightening listen,,,

The album is entirely filled with a heavy atmosphere of despair that'll make anyone who listens to it to lose its breath at all! Also, the "Tristania style" is showed in it: all the songs (except for the bonus track, "The Modern End") last more than 5 minutes, and even more than 6. That's why the album only has nine songs (ten if we include the bonus track); if it had more, it would have become a little tedious.

This album is another physical proof that harsh doom-style male vocals and slow and melodic female vocals & choirs are one of the best couples in music, like a darker version of "The Beauty and The Beast". Even without Morten Veland, the vocal couple sounds great! (from http://avaxhome.cc/music/metal/Tristania_World_Of_Glass.html)
