Description

2009 remastered re-issue with new cover artwork and two bonus tracks

This debut from one of Italy’s most unique bands in the black metal scene never ceases to amaze me. Not only because out of the three I’ve heard (this, Sacro Culto and The Black Opera), it’s easily the best, but also because of how it stands out of the usual pattern in black metal with its epic feeling. The songs are all lengthy, especially the first track, but what really gets the listener is Cadaveria’s vocals, which are completely unique and add a lot of depth to the already unmistakably atmospheric music. In that way, and in many other ways, Opera IX stands out from the stream of generic black metal acts in the mid-90s. Another thing that strikes me as original is the number of mellow, clean parts. When the tempo isn’t going down for some slow and heavy power chords, you can expect some awesome acoustic parts, often combined with a soft bass line and even a flute. The flute parts are beautiful and add a very special touch to the music, like everything else anyway. All these aspects make ‘The Call Of The Wood’ such a creative release with lots and lots of variety within it.
