Greece's Dark Awake have returned with a new recording which continues their mixture of neo-classical, neo-folk, martial, ritual and dark ambient and this is a review of their 2019 album "Die Sonne Man" which was released by Ultra-Mail Prod.
Field recordings along with some dark ambient style synths start off the album along with the music also getting very avant garde and experimental at times. The synths also bring in a variety many different sounding keys while the music also brings in a great amount of ritualistic elements.
All of the songs sound very different from each other while the music also gets very martial at times. Elements of neo-classical are also used quite a bit throughout the recording along with some songs also utilizing some spoken word parts and one track also introduces folk instruments onto the recording as well as some percussion also being used briefly and as the album progresses a small amount of female vocals can also be heard.
On this recording Dark Awake remain true to their mixture of neo-classical, neo-folk, martial, ritual and dark ambient . The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover paganism, Hermiticism, Occultism, Runes. and some songs are recited from the writings of Savitri Devi, Karl Maris Willigut and Arthur Machen.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Dark Awake and if you are a fan of neo-classical, neo-folk, martial, ritual and dark ambient, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Great Pan" Hermetic Watchers" and "The Daughter Of The Sun". 8 out of 10.
