The
Lord Weird Slough Feg - "Twilight Of The Idols"
Doomed Planet / Dragonheart (1999)
My soul gushes light as my stereo plays melodies
from celtic or scottish bagpipe which calls us to the fields of battle to face
those who stop us from from fighting with the space and time!
The "HIGHLANDERS" come from the Highlands of San Francisco
to bring back, for the second time, the "HIGH SEASON II"
with the reference of ULSTER (PANGS OF ULSTER) in
a celebration where songs, based to exploits, dominate, for the brave "Connor
Mac" (Brave Connor Mac) while, suddenly, the fires
of WICKERMAN light up, since the attack against the druine archon
SLOUGH FEG has already began and with this outbreak THE
GREAT ICE WARS begin, with which LIFE IN THE DARK AGE is
signified. Seeing all these, the Irish king SLAINE gets affected
by WARPSPASM. In the meantime, everywhere around, BI-POLAR
DISORDER is being created, and that's when the highest of all wizzards
appears to take revenge (THE WIZZARD'S VENGEANCE), saying with
a whisper on his lips "We'll meet again"...
... All this epos is unfolded in a veil of real
EPIC METAL that hails from the school of OMEN, CIRITH UNGOL, BLACK SABBATH (of
the first era), NWOBHM, MANILLA ROAD - style that has a sound and a production,
just like as if it came out of the early 70s to '85! How can all of this be
possible? Listen and understand. I, personally, haven't listened to such thing
for years! This is METAL! UNDERGROUND TRUE EPIC METAL! Add the word CELTIC to
all of these as well. "T.O.T.I." is the second album of slough feg
and the best so far, even thougfh I believe they will never release an album
like this again - this one is already classic. All of you who seek yourselves
in music and wanna listen to WEIRD EPIC TRUE METAL with strange changes, then
buy this album H-O-W-S-O-E-V-E-R ! ! ! HAIL MIKE!!!
PS: This album take 15 and not just 10 !
PS2: "T.O.T.I." was firstly released in LP from an UNDERGROUND company
that helps bands, called "DOOMED PLANET". After a long time DRAGONHEART
(Hail Enrico!) and released the album in a CD with 2 intros from bagpipes and
another 2 songs, "WARPSPASM" and "WE'LL MEET AGAIN", which,
unfortunately, the LP didn't have enough space left for them! Just have in mind
that the LP has been released in a thousand copies and is already sold-out,
probably.
"A SILENT RITUAL BETWEEN THE
WEEDS UNEARTHLY STEPPES BIND
BLOODY STEEDS VEXED PYTHONS
SHROUD THE SUNBURNED DEAD
DREAMS IN THE ICE COFFIN FROLIC
IN SCATTERED MASSACRE EACH VEIN
AND VESSEL OF FROZEN NETWORK
SLOWLY WEAVING THE PATH TO PURGATORY..."
