A sad plea for forgotten serenades

March 03, 2024
Wooden Stake - Dungeon Prayers & Tombyard Serenades

The brooding story of the mysterious lady begins the musical path of the Cadaverum Caecorum Liber track, then recedes before the harsh viscous and gloomy passages and growling male vocals, returning again to the unhurried narration of the brooding fairy. The guitar solo of the intro brings the charm of medieval echoes, weaving together the musical canvas of the Salem 1962 leitmotif that continues the musical path of the Wooden Stake - Dungeon Prayers & Tombyard Serenades album, at times thickening and hardening the sound with the ascension of the guitar solo and growling vocals.
The music ghostly shrouds the Tortured Into Eternal Repose vocals narration, combining and alternating male and female vocals, transformed by the martial drive and vocals importance of the Die Rache Der Hexen song, alternating music and vocals in the foreground of the musical image.
The pensive unhurriedness of the intro's guitar solo points the way for the vocal march of the Six Feet Of Earth... And All It Contains song, led first by female vocals, then transforming into a duet. Beginning with the Cemetery Closes At Sundown enchanting chime of a romantic guitar solo, the Skullcoven song then envelops the twilight haze of a thoughtful tale wrapped in a veil of musical darkness.
The sounds of nature, the echoes of soaring fairies and the unseen shades of ghostly charms intrigue before the further development of the Anguished Atonement musical tale. The hidden pressure of the guitar solo weaves with the vocals storytelling in the enchanting leisurely pace of the Bleeding Coffin musical dance, putting a final stop to the music book of this release.
