Dahlia-Pompon Great music from a great band!
Emotional, gut wrenching, melodious, heavy and beautiful...
To listen without moderation, with closed eyes... Favorite track: The Weight.

Lanna E Melodic. Energetic. Soothing. Raw emotion pouring forth through each note produced. Doomy in every since of the word. It's an album worthy of being in my collection. Simply, give it a listening chance.

Hannu Kujanen I love all their music 🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶 Favorite track: Glow From the Edge.

H.L. It seems that this special kind of melancholic melodic doom death sounds only real when it comes from Finland. Think at Swallow the Sun, Ghost Brigade or MARIANAS REST. "Fata Morgana" is really heavy, serious and cloaked in a dense atmosphere of grief which touches the most hidden corners of you soul. The cream on the cake are additional female "Ahs" and "Ohs" as they bring some angelic light into the creeping darkness. A massive and emotional masterpiece for heavy rotation! Favorite track: Glow From the Edge.

about

Emerging from the Finnish coastal town of Kotka, melodic death metal strikers MARIANAS REST unleash their third studio album, Fata Morgana, on March 12, 2021 via Napalm Records – laying a brutal yet gloomy veil of melancholy over the world. The top-notch offering combines intense melodic death metal spiced with significant doom elements and breathes an overall lyrical theme of the dark aspects of life with every note.
Founded in 2013, and after releasing their debut Horror Vacui (2016) and critically acclaimed successor Ruins (2019), the six piece with Jaakko Mäntymaa on vocals and Omnium Gatherum’s Aapo Koivisto on keys showcases a true virtuosity of heavy riffs, hypnotizing soundscapes and impetuous tempo-changes on its new piece of art. The eight-song epos delivers atmospheric melodies that are as endless and fascinating as the overwhelming beauty of Finnish nature, which tracks like the expressive “The Weight” or authentic “Pointless Tale” are evidence of. Topped by guest appearances of Timo Virkkala, who shares his awesome cello magic, and the bewitching backing vocals of Lindsay Matheson/Schoolcraft (ex-Cradle Of Filth), MARIANAS REST take their creative output to the next level and make Fata Morgana a must-have for fans of bands like Insomnium and My Dying Bride.
This melodically-grasped melancholy is produced by Teemu Aalto (Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum) and MARIANAS REST, recorded and mixed by Teemu Aalto at Teemu Aalto Music Productions and mastered by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers, who received a Grammy nomination with Candlemass feat. Tony Iommi for Best Metal Performance.

Valence, Much More was Lost... the whole album presents powerful trips into human psyche. If you care to read the lyrics, that is. I admire their works and consistence. They are the Dostoevsky of Metal. paulpriest
