Mercenary - "Isolation (The Loneliness in December)"
I haven't heard this group in a long while. This was the last album to feature lead vocalist, Mikkel Sandager. While their tunes are beautifully melodic, I feel what truly amazes me is the vocals of Mikkel. Not only does he demonstrate his vocal range, he exemplifies it with a lot of emotion. This album is also lot closer to a thrash metal sound compared to their previous records, but I find it in no way a con.
UROBOROS didn't quite open to me the first two times I heard it a couple months back. Now as I listen to it for a third time I'm hearing a lot that I missed previously. DIR EN GREY make complex music founded on some of the strongest basic emotions and mix in both unquestionable beauty and stark aggression – music that I can appreciate.
