A sonic journey through a world that is meticulously crafted and enthralling enough to rival Tolkien. Xanthochroid's music is virtuosic, skillfully produced, and conceptual epic black metal.
By incorporating neoclassical symphonic elements in a unique and epic way into prog-metal, this record quickly became a favorite of both of us. It is a titan of metal, beautiful, dark yet inspiring.
A go-to album while I was translating Beowulf, Loss hearkens back to the Germanic mythic past, when the stones bled rune wisdom. The music is gigantic and deep, strangely comforting, and adventurous.
