Bio:
Númenor has risen from the ashes of band Esgaroth. The only remaining member from the embryonic period was Despot (Marko Miranovic).Despot established Númenor in 2009 and marked the path with the new members, but, anyhow some of the older material, from the previous periods left, and later was published on various EPs.The lyrics are based on fantasy literature: J.J.R. Tolkien, Michael Moorcock, Robert E.Howard.Discography:2013 Colossal Darkness Full-length
Album:
Not bad what the Serbs around singer Despot Marko Miranović are serving us here. Already the first track of the long player, Make The Stand, refers to the musical journey this long player wants to take us with. Here none other than Hansi Kürsch has a duel with Marko. Blind Guardian meets Death Metal vocals. A very coherent song that goes straight into your ears and neck.With Númenor, the next track, Marko shows that he is also good at clear vocals. The guitars gallop in the best Iron Maiden manner, while the vocals can be found here in Power Metal.Hall Of The Mountain King, is supposed to be a homage to Savatage. The Death Metal vocals take a bit of getting used to here and for me they are the weakest number on the album.Feanor is again an original composition, like Númenor with galloping guitars and clear vocals, but spiced with growls. The nerds among us now know where the band get their text inspiration: from J.R.R. Tolkien. An almost inexhaustible source, and always suitae for the genre. By the way, the cover of this album is by Dobroslav Bob Zivkovic, which also graced the Lord of the Rings edition in Serbia from 1984.It continues with Mirror Mirror, not a Blind Guardian Cover Version, as you might think, but its own number. This is reminiscent of Ensiferum in terms of structure and singing and shows the versatility of Númenor.At Arkenstone it gets a little nastier with the growls, again mixed with clear vocals in the vocals, which also suits the band very well.Where Battles Rages On is a thoroughbred Melodic Death Metal number that, like the rest of the album, is fun.Twilight Of The Gods hits the mark, just a little harder and faster.The Day Of The Final Frost goes well with the current weather conditions, frosty and nasty is nasty here and there through the song and adds a shovel degree of hardness. I like it very much too.The Last Of The Wizards, the last song on Númenor, is another number with piano and Gothic-like deep spoken vocals that seems a bit confusing to me and doesn't quite fit in with the rest. Not a good graduation, but you can't have everything.
