Founded by Jaani Peuhu of Swallow The Sun, Mercury Circle makes a majestic debut crafting fascinating darkened soundscapes on the full-length “Killing Moons”.
Within the evocative multifaceted atmospheric realm of “The Gates Wide Open” the precise drums maintain an arcane tribal rhythm while the glowing guitar progressions convey bittersweet feelings emphasized by the passionate vocal delivery.
“You Open Up The Earth” stands out for the irresistible melancholia flowing through the haunting atmospheric ensemble and guitars acquire a delicious dark rock flair to create captivating melodic tapestries.
The title track relies on a remarkable mix of spacey atmospheric layers and modern electro beats that render everything a bit surreal while the compelling rhythmic crescendos and the heartfelt vocals highlight a darkly romantic flair.
“Call On The Dark” puts the spotlight on the futuristic tones and the sorrowful harmonies of the elaborate keyboards arrangements while the memorable chorus emphasizes a dark & catchy melodic essence.
The hazy cinematic approach of “Avalanche” leads to an exquisite ethereal sonic realm yet the rhythmic section acquires heavier doom tonalities conveying immense nostalgia and grief.
“Death Poem” is definitely a theatrical poetic opus as the opulent enchanting synth arrangements take you far away and the wistful melodies become increasingly darker when guitars add monolithic doom accents.
Certainly “Killing Moons” is destined to impress the listeners as Mercury Circle carefully blend gorgeous melodies and mesmerizing atmospheric waves to express poignant emotions.
