[ENG]<\/em><\/strong> Two years after the release of “Myths of Fate<\/em><\/strong>“, Leaves’ Eyes return with a new EP titled \u201cSong Of Darkness<\/em>\u201d<\/strong>, Despite its short length, the four-track release confirms the band\u2019s identity and their ability to craft epic atmospheres that sit somewhere between symphonic metal and the mythic imagery of the Nordic world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title track \u201cSong Of Darkness<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> opens the EP with a strong narrative approach. Inspired by the medieval Icelandic saga of Gisli the Outlaw, the song moves through dark atmospheres and grand orchestral arrangements, maintaining the cinematic feeling that has long been a defining element of the band\u2019s sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the EP, the four songs flow naturally and keep the listener engaged. \u201cHall Of The Brave<\/em>,\u201d \u201cUntil The Last Day<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cRoots Eternal<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> continue to showcase the band\u2019s recognizable mix of metal riffs, orchestral layers, and evocative melodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, a big part of the band\u2019s appeal comes from the vocal interplay. Finnish soprano Elina Siirala <\/em><\/strong>delivers a strong performance, guiding the songs with both power and emotional depth. Her clear and expressive voice carries the more epic passages while still shining in the softer moments. On the other side, the growls of Alexander Krull<\/strong><\/em> add weight and intensity, creating the vocal contrast that has become one of the band\u2019s trademarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though it is a short release, \u201cSong Of Darkness<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> works well and feels like the beginning of a new chapter. More than just a standalone EP, it acts as a bridge toward the band\u2019s next full-length album, once again showing Leaves\u2019 Eyes moving confidently between symphonic metal, epic atmosphere, and storytelling inspired by history and legend.<\/p>\n\n\n

[ITA] <\/em><\/strong>Sono passati due anni dall\u2019uscita di “Myths of Fate<\/em><\/strong>” e i Leaves’ Eyes tornano con un nuovo EP intitolato \u201cSong Of Darkness<\/em>\u201d<\/strong>. Quattro brani che, pur nella loro durata contenuta, confermano l\u2019identit\u00e0 della band e la loro capacit\u00e0 di costruire atmosfere epiche sospese tra symphonic metal e suggestioni legate alla mitologia nordica.

La title track \u201cSong Of Darkness<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> apre il lavoro con un taglio decisamente narrativo. Ispirata alla saga islandese medievale di Gisli il Fuorilegge, la canzone si muove tra atmosfere cupe e orchestrazioni maestose, mantenendo quel gusto cinematografico che da sempre caratterizza il sound della band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nel corso dell\u2019EP i quattro pezzi scorrono bene e senza momenti morti. \u201cHall Of The Brave<\/em>\u201d<\/strong>, \u201cUntil The Last Day<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> e \u201cRoots Eternal<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> mantengono saldo il mix di riff metal, arrangiamenti orchestrali e melodie evocative che hanno reso riconoscibile lo stile del gruppo negli anni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come sempre, grande parte del fascino dei brani passa dalle voci. La prova della soprano finlandese Elina Siirala<\/em><\/strong> \u00e8 convincente: la sua interpretazione \u00e8 intensa ma sempre controllata, capace di guidare i momenti pi\u00f9 epici come quelli pi\u00f9 delicati. Dall\u2019altra parte troviamo i growl di Alexander Krull<\/em><\/strong>, che aggiungono peso e profondit\u00e0 alle composizioni, creando il classico contrasto vocale che \u00e8 ormai un marchio di fabbrica dei Leaves\u2019 Eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pur trattandosi di un EP breve, \u201cSong Of Darkness<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> funziona bene e lascia la sensazione di essere l\u2019inizio di qualcosa di pi\u00f9 grande. Un assaggio del prossimo capitolo discografico della band, che continua a muoversi con sicurezza tra metal sinfonico, atmosfere epiche e storytelling ispirato alla storia e alla leggenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":37465,"template":"","class_list":["post-37463","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n[ENG\/ITA] LEAVES' EYES - Song of Darkness - Heavyworlds.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heavyworlds.com\/it\/review\/eng-ita-leaves-eyes-song-of-darkness\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"it_IT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"[ENG\/ITA] LEAVES' EYES - Song of Darkness - Heavyworlds.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[ENG] Two years after the release of “Myths of Fate“, Leaves’ Eyes return with a new EP titled \u201cSong Of Darkness\u201d, Despite its short length, the four-track release confirms the band\u2019s identity and their ability to craft epic atmospheres that sit somewhere between symphonic metal and the mythic imagery of the Nordic world.
