After the acclaimed debut album “Of Wind and Weeping”, Mirrorthrone will strike back this Winter 2006 with the enigmatically entitled “Carriers of Dust”, released once more on Red Stream Inc.
Musically, this latest recording is an instable stream where extremities tend to gather constantly; hence the unusual cohabitation of powerful and epic tones alternating with suicidal and desperate colors. Keeping the radical Romantic and Baroque base lead by a blasting extreme metal pace that had built the identity of the previous release, this new opus integrates more diverse influences which give an almost progressive taste to the music. Benefiting from a massively improved production (especially on the drum level) this new release should convince all those who remained skeptic with the debut album.
“Carriers of Dust” directs its resentment towards two conflictive poles. On the first hand it spites venom against a general, pseudo demiurgic and blindfolded post-modern movement. In its revolutionary haste, this movement denied all rules set by nature's pulse and therefore misses its aim and leads a decadent humanity towards wretched existence. On the other hand, it attacks the pseudo intellectual opponents that pretend to rise against this depraved cause. Using primitive, harsh and empty concepts actually unifies them with their antagonist points of view, since both are born from the same tactless agitation.
Mostly sung in French and composed of evolving long tracks, “Carriers of Dust” will target the heart of its listener and rip it savagely until no more tears can ease the pain. Each listening will be an initiative journey revealing hostile and unexpected surroundings.
A snapshot of the album cover will be available on the website as soon as possible, as well as an MP3 preview. More details concerning the release date will come in the next weeks.
