Horsehunter - Day Of Doom Live - VINYL LP

Magnetic Eye Records presents a blistering live document of flagship MER band Horsehunter destroying onstage at the Day of Doom tag showcase at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar. This once-in-a-lifetime gathering was held in November 2019 to celebrate the tag's first decade. It featured nine roster acts performing back-to-back, with the four headline sets captured live by Chris Johnson (Deafheaven, Summoner) to commemorate the event as a set of exclusive live albums. Horsehunter's furious, multi-movement sludge separates them from a world of bands content to simply pummel, as they range from soft and sinister to unbound aggression half a dozen times in the course of a single song. The Australian band's 2015 album Caged in Flesh and self-titled 2019 follow-up present monumental, carefully-constructed epics that may as well have been created to carry fans of Sleep and Neurosis blissfully to Valhalla. Day of Doom Live presents the foursome delivering music The Obelisk simply calls, Inchbrutal as S**t,Inch in a live setting, burning down the metaphorical stage and branding those who hear it with the mark of true enlightenment.

The compositional style of A. J. Romani and the theme of the present recording is the idea of Romani's approachable compositions which are rooted in tonality. The first pieces for voice and pianoforte are tonal and reminiscent of the German lieder while the lyrics are by such romantic and post romantic poets as V. Hugo, G. Apollinaire and A. de Vigny. Capiacla for voice, clarinet and pianoforte is a setting of a poem by Valentina Ferri, itself loosely based on 'A. Juana' by A. de Musset. It is a moderately difficult, tonal work and recalls the style of the German romantics. The instrumental pieces are also tonal and contain a number of considerable difficulties involving both performance and interpretation, particularly in the four-handed composition for pianoforte. Pianists Leonarda Tomarchio and Stefano Coccon are featured here, alongside violinist Luca Torciani, cellist Claudio Giacomazzi, clarinetist Sergio Casellato and soprano Cristina Vera-Diaz.
