Eyes of Ligeia - A Dirge for the Most Lovely Dead

Eyes of Ligeia - A Dirge for the Most Lovely Dead
Copyright © 1999 Unsung Heroes

1. Watcher in the Water (8:28)
2. And Yet You Stare (8:49)
3. To Drown Beyond the Sunset / Perhaps Someday Softer Rains
4. Will Come (11:09)

Rough and seemingly unsteady music that races through several cycles to return to its origin and from there open more spaces for exploration, this qualifies truly as dirge for its use of doubling rhythm and sequential harmonization to increase the tension of its burden. Surprisingly, it's light on its feet, with fast riffs that move alongside slow conclusions in thunderous chords. A unique sense of structure and a dramatic concept of percussion and melody makes this death/doom hybrid an enduringly interesting prospect.
