style
According to The Ultimate Hard Rock Guide Vol I - Europe is on Dar svanar flyger yet Black Metal to hear, is enriched with a variety of melodies and the use of some genre foreign instruments. Wolf-Rüdiger Mühlmann from Rock Hard wrote in his review of A Bard's Tale that it combines “ Gothic , Metal and solemn Nordic pathetic ” and “banishes feelings such as love, happiness, sorrow and loneliness” onto the album. Overall, A Bard's Tale is reminiscent of The Gathering 's first album , although parallels to Moonspell come up. In addition, there is Celtic music, brought to bear by the alternating use of male and female singing. Stefan Janik from metal1.info also reviewed the album and remarked that Black Metal was no longer predominant, as on the demo, but elements of Gothic Rock , Doom Metal and Folk were mixed. It is already clear at the beginning that the music is rather calm. The keyboard used initially is reminiscent of menhir . The electric guitars, on the other hand, tend to sound rather reserved. Spoken chants are mostly used as singing. Two years later, Mühlmann reviewed Chaos Without Theory . This CD is just another copy of Paradise Lost and The Sisters of Mercy . The music as a whole could be assigned to Gothic Metal, with "a couple of reasonably bearable, fat riffs " being played every now and then .
