Premnath Gonesh – A Journey Through the Depths of the Soul

When I was asked to review this album, I was told that it wasn’t metal, so I was not sure what to expect. Premnath Gonesh is the keyboard player for the band Slechtvalk, and this is his first solo album/project.

Not having much information on this album, I anxiously copied the songs to my iPod and started listening. What I found, much to my surprise, was 11 tracks of beautiful and inspiring instrumental music, which I believe is mostly done on keyboards and synthesizers. So let’s step through the album 1 song at a time.

The first song, “Sounds from the Otherside”, starts out with a piano and timpani, and then some strings kick in. After listening for about 30 seconds, I find myself relaxed, and swept away to another place and another time. The song is 3:12 in length, and at the end of the song, I am wondering where the time went. Pretty much most of the song is piano, strings, keyboards, and timpani. However, the song is well composed and as I stated, took me on a journey that, when over, I immediately wanted more. Continue reading »

Slechtvalk – A Forlorn Throne

Slechtvalk (peregrine falcon) is a Dutch extreme, viking metal band. They have released “Falconry” (2000), “The War That Plagues the Lands” (2002), “At The Dawn of War” (2005) along with a hit compilation “An Era Of Bloodshed” (2009). With “A Forlorn Throne” (2010) they continued their concept album theme situated in a fantasy Norse world where battles rage between armies of good versus evil.

The main change in sound is that they no longer use female vocals and they have fully embraced the melodic death metal sound. Whilst keyboards do still feature, there is much more attention on the aggressive guitars. This has brought comparisons to Amon Amarth, Dimmu Borgir and Opeth. The current line-up is Shamgar (vocals & guitar), Ohtar (bass & vocals), Seraph (guitar), Premnath (keyboard) and Grimbold (drums). There are also guest vocals from Erik Grawsiö (Månegarm) on three tracks.
