SEARBLISS Updates and Changes
Candlelight Records Band Update:
Sear Bliss: The New Beginning
Though some important changes happened in the Sear Bliss camp last year, there was no official statemen so far, as we decided to…
SEAR BLISS – Interview with Trombone Player Zoltán Pál
The Arcane Odyssey by SEAR BLISS seems tailor-made for fans of symphonic black metal. Not only did the band adhere to the conventions of black metal such as grim vocals for a grim guitar sound, a raw (although clear) production and blasting drumbeats, they also included uncommon instrumentation. On The Arcane Odyssey, one will hear various brass instruments such as trombone, trumpet and euphonium. This is no high school band nerd album, though; the group designed a sound that is grandiose and epic. Equally if not more important, they managed to separate their group from the millions of Casio-keyboard black metal bands. The Arcane Odyssey is a perfect mix of beautiful harmonies, triumphant brass orchestration and scathing black metal.
These Huns have been creating music of this scale since the early nineties, but due to small-label distribution, were never able to reach a massive scope of fans until now. This being their sixth release should find a much broader audience due to the wide-ranging distribution of Candlelight Records. Trombone player (I never thought I would say trombone and black metal in the same sentence) Zoltán Pál answered a few questions via email about this labyrinthine group.
SEAR BLISS „The Arcane Odyssey”
SEAR BLISS has been releasing solid black metal albums since the mid nineties. Much like other black metal artists from the eastern block of Europe, the groups brand of symphonic black metal rivals that of any Norwegian band, but due to geographic restraints, they only receive cult recognition.
SEAR BLISS „Glory & Perdition”
It hasnt been a big year for Black Metal. Thats what I think anyway.
