Via mystica
In hora mortis nostre ()
Wydane przez Rok wydania Kraj PolandNapisał This band from Bialystok, Poland rose in 1998. After some shows they recorded their first material and at once for a full length album (!!!). It is quite strane because it is their first time they were in studio. VIA MYSTICA describe the music contained on "In hora..." as 9 tracks filled with misticism, sadness. If one added "..with sweetness" I would fully agree with this description. The vocal of the vocalist can be compared to that of Liv Kristine. And now you can say which band influenced VIA MYSTICA - Theatre Of Tragedy. This is not brainless copying that band because VM add a some their own originality. The composition are monumental, sophisticated and longer that those made by Norwegians. The produciotn of "In hora.." is clear, and good. All the instruments are well heard and the vocalist use their throats quite well (did I mention that the other two are male vocals? One growling and one screaming..). I liked listening ot it and I even listened to "In hora.." several times...
