Summoning - Old Morning's Dawn (2013)

The legendary symphonic black metal legends are finally back again after a seven year break with yet another epic adventure through Middle Earth. There's a dearth of incredible, beautiful melodies that soar right through the heights of your imagination (excuse the hyperbole there). The choirs, synths and flute all fit so well with the churning guitar ambiance that you could hardly imagine them apart from each other. The vocals haven't lost their viciousness after all these years and the drums are as hypnotic as ever. In all, this is one more excellent album to add to this band's amazing discography. Yet another contender for black metal album of the year.
