"Ancient Memories & Modern Sadness" continues Starer's blend of keyboards with black metal in what continues to be a release after release improvement.
Ancient Monuments & Modern Sadness is a ode to loss, longing and fading memories. 50 minutes of symphonic black metal shot into the heavens lighting up the void like a supernova. Intense riff filled black metal dominates the run time with keys adding dynamics to each and every song like only Starer can do.
This record oozes the aforementioned emotions so well that one could mistake it for an organism as every sound resonates with the listener perfectly. Modern Sadness: Loss and longing delivered by fierce black metal and downtrodden keys and Ancient Monuments: A perfect blend of fast up-tempo riffing and epic atmosphere from the keyboard arrangements highlighting nostalgia for those great memories that are slowly fading away.
