Today, Primitive Reaction announces
January 28th, 2022 as the international release date for The Mist From the Mountains'
striking debut album, Monumental - The Temple of
Twilight.
Hailing from the ever-fertile Finnish scene, The
Mist From the Mountains are a brand-new formation with a
very old heart. Their chilling-yet-breathtaking ruminations harken to the
golden days of melodic, nature-inspired black metal, back during the mid '90s.
Names invoked include old Borknagar, Kvist, Arckanum, Old Man's Child, Norway's
Gehenna, and even earliest Dimmu Borgir - but on evidence of their first public
recording, the full-length Monumental - The Temple of
Twilight, The Mist From the Mountains are
well on their way to forging an odyssey all their own.
Encompassing six songs across 38 minutes, Monumental - The Temple of
Twilight is simultaneously swift and expansive. Right from the
spine-tingling anticipation of the album's portentous opening, The Mist From the Mountains soon
whip forth a fury that's paradoxically widescreen, cloaked in splendorous
synths which spark the imagination and send the listener into a righteous
reverie. Indeed, energy is always foremost for the five-piece, with two
vocalists - Kim Strömsholm and Tuomas Karhumäki - handling duties with equal
aplomb. However, as with the best nature-inspired black metal metal, tempos are
downshifted (and often) into proud marches, making the dynamics hit that much
harder. Throughout, battle rage and folkloric wonder weave in and out as
needed, the quintet threading the seemingly disparate elements together like
true masters. Thus, The Mist From the Mountains are
accurately monikered: towering, mysterious, even magickal, yet also hazy and
almost amorphous. And this is but the start for this still-young band...
The old gods live on. And they make a grand re-entrance with The Mist From the Mountains' Monumental - The Temple of Twilight!
