Belarus Duo Withered Land release their debut opus The Endless Journey.
The endless Journey is the result of Olga Kann (Bass, Keyboards, Songwriting) tireless efforts to create a magnum’s opus in five acts telling the story of a warrior’s initiation into battle, longing for home, and returning from death. Alexander Rabets provides a vocal narrative that is harsh and despairing and yet at times full of hope.
Every track is an epic ode to the story and fans of middle era Bathory and its mighty Hammerheart will appreciate some of the musical references and the final riff of Mournful Story Nevers Ends is soaring Draconian tinged beauty. Wraith Surrounds Us All brings the Symphonic and battle-tinged samples to the fore combining with excellent Nordic Black metal touches and powerful synth. Guest Koliopanos Filippos provides some excellent guitar work that drives each track forward with purpose, the dynamics are inspired, and it benefits greatly from a cohesive storytelling perspective.

The story of the battle and the harshness of medieval life, Death Was Always Near uses folk-inspired moments along with some supremely heavy music and atmosphere. Every track is a well thought out finely crafted piece of the story. The shortest track is 6.30m that allows Withered Land to create some excellent un-rushed musical moments, the middle component of Over Distant Shores is heavy and yet multitextured, the keyboards and atmosphere soar along the shoreline, nothing is self-indulgent or overwrought.
