Tristania\u0092s Classic Gothic Metal debut finally available again! Limited deluxe edition including the classic debut EP<\/p>\n
\u0093Widow\u0092s Weeds\u0094is not only an essential Gothic album, it is the genre-defining Gothic Metal release of all times.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of bands with good debut albums. There are also a lot of bands with excellent debut albums. And then, occasionally, there\u0092s a band, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, that completely eclipses all their fellows.<\/p>\n
Such is the case with Tristania\u0092s debut full-length \u0091Widow\u0092s Weeds\u0092, which upon its release took the Metal world by storm and raised the bar for Gothic Metal to unimaginable heights. What\u0092s so striking about this album, is how it managed to capture, perhaps even revive, Gothic Metal\u0092s purest essence: to invigorate sorrow and sadness, to highlight the beautiful energy that can be found in melancholy. Musically, \u0091Widow\u0092s Weeds\u0092 is a near-perfect Gothic album, from start to finish. Intros and outros are always risky business, only seldomly having real added value on any album. Not this time though, they fit in perfectly with the orthodox approach that Tristania is taking. The intro on this album literally opens the door to Tristania\u0092s cathedral of sorrow, with the choir guiding you to album opener \u0093Evenfall\u0094, as you are immediately immersed in the band\u0092s beautiful dark and wintery scenery. And for the next 50 minutes, you won\u0092t get out.<\/p>\n
This album is meant to express the deepest levels of sorrow and sadness. To be your only lonely companion at the heart of winter. To make you yearn for nightfall. To be the soundtrack to your stroll through desolate meadows. \u0091Widows\u0092s Weeds\u0092 is stripped of all possible joy. Tristania has delivered the ultimate Gothic Metal album, now and forever. Every other Gothic Metal release, past and future, needs to be benchmarked against \u0093Widow\u0092s Weeds\u0094.<\/p>\n
