Ecnephias
The Sad Wonder Of The Sun
With their personal mix of Gothic Metal, Doom, Decadent Rock and Dark Wave, ECNEPHIAS come back with a new milestone of Dark Metal. The original mediterranean touch, the amazing variety and depth of Mancans voice and the bright references to Dark Wave, are the trademark that the band shows through creeping atmospheres and passionate melodies, rich of influences going from Dark Rock to Extreme and Melodic Metal in the style of Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Tiamat but also Type O Negative, Fields Of The Nephilim. "The Sad Wonder Of The Sun" is the most mature, powerful and nevertheless obscure and melodic album ever released by the band with its bewitched charm that really is able to bring the listeners into another sensorial dimension. Their sound is now really obscure and "The Sad Wonder Of The Sun" is at the same time the most catchy and powerful music they have ever recorded. It is Mediterranean Dark Metal at 101%, sounding more gothic, murky and darker than ever. The album was mastered by Mauro Andreolli at Das Ende Der Dinge (Extrema, Vision Divine, Flash Terrorist, Negrita).
