ahasverus-cornelius Enregistré avec un véritable orchestre et un chœur étoffé qui lui donnent un son proprement monstrueux, « Nekyia » est la manifestation d'une ambition extraordinaire et Winterage s'est donné les moyens, d'arriver à ses fins.
L'alliance du Metal et de la musique classique a rarement atteint de telles combinaisons, elles ont en tous cas rarement été si bien défendues, A l'approche de cette fin d'année « Nekyia » est clairement l'album qui m'a le plus ébloui en 2023. Favorite track: Metamorphosis, a Macabre Ritual.

Elased Bombastic, operatic, symphonic, stirring! Just listen to the intro and the beginning of the first song - I'm speechless!
In short: Winterage are the true heirs of Rhapsody's glorious past!

cory_m Great symphonic power metal album. Definitely hear a bit of early Rhapsody influence, but they have carved out a unique sound nonetheless! Favorite track: Simurgh the Firebird.

As soon as the battlecry of gauls Raging came to our ears Even before seeing That enemy we never met before we fled Following a trail of moonlight shreds We sought the protection of the wood Vibrant of menacing life on unbeaten paths We quenched our thirst with forest tears From mountain eyes Nourished by the offspring of the trees WE’RE FEELING THE PRESENCE OF NUMEN PERVADING OUR SOULS THE ELDER SPIRITS OF FOREST A SHELTER FROM THE LIGHT REACHING THE WOOD OF THE NUMEN WE WALKED THE PATH OF THE MOON OUR EYES EMBRACED THE DARKNESS DISCERNING ALL THE SHADES OF HEART As well as the darkest shadow fades Scared away by the sunlight Our eyes can see Through every glowing blackness By the moon revealed Now the wood can clearly show ourselves Our inner selves WE’RE FEELING THE PRESENCE OF NUMEN PERVADING OUR SOULS THE ELDER SPIRITS OF FOREST A SHELTER FROM THE LIGHT REACHING THE WOOD OF THE NUMEN WE WALKED THE PATH OF THE MOON OUR EYES EMBRACED THE DARKNESS DISCERNING ALL THE SHADES OF FEELING THE PRESENCE OF NUMEN PERVADING OUR SOULS THE ELDER SPIRITS OF FOREST A SHELTER FROM THE LIGHT REACHING THE WOOD OF THE NUMEN WE WALKED THE PATH OF THE MOON OUR EYES EMBRACED THE DARKNESS DISCERNING ALL THE SHADES OF HEART

Only the white whale Can sink into the depth Then rise again to fight the men Sinking in his own hatred An old captain seeks revenge Still feeling the pain From the burning shadow of his lost leg TERROR OF THE WHALERS KING OF THE ABYSS TO THE SURFACE COME UNTAMED WHITE LEVIATHAN “Ego non baptizo te in nomine patris” The iron devoured the baptismal blood “Sed in nomine diaboli!” He piled upon the whale's white hump The sum of all the rage And hate felt by his whole race As if his chest had been a mortar He burst his own heart His obsessed and bleeding soul Sank with ship and crew TERROR OF THE WHALERS KING OF THE ABYSS TO THE SURFACE COME UNTAMED WHITE LEVIATHAN Human race is destinated to lose against the Leviathan, as we can never defeat a false enemy. We created it. The dark enchantment we casted on ourselves changed the fragile balance of the world, which is needed only by us, because Earth existed before and will exist after. We all are a blind Captain Ahab who sinks, fighting a losing battle against the enduring of nature, dancing his “Danse Macabre” towards the abyss.

In dark times A presence Unreal insanity Is knocking untamed On the gates of my brain A crowd of shadows Dancing the rite A ritual among the fire of mind The Metamorphosis I wander In the essence Of the most brutal absence NO ONE WILL HEAR YOU I feel cold WE WILL EAT YOUR PITH I feel empty THE RITE WILL BEGIN YOU CAN’T STOP THE METAMORPHOSIS

about

‘Nekyia’ introduces a new side of Winterage, thanks to an even more bombastic and theatrical feel.

The present course of the Italian symphonic power metal band is extremely influenced by the epic-cinematic style of Two Steps From Hell and opera music; the sheer heavy metal impact has been strengthened too.

From high-pitched notes to dramatic operatic vocals, from folk instruments to the mighty orchestral sound, from furious blast-beats to extremely fast guitar riffs and solos, this album truly display the sensational Winterage evolution and the grandiose, triumphant impact of their sound.
