Canaan - Blue Fire (1996)


Italian atmospheric gothic rock/darkwave. Glacially-paced drums, crestfallen vocals, and an icy wash of keyboards and reverberating guitars. Ethereal but forceful enough to at times land closer to gothic metal than to rock.

Track listing:
1. The Eleventh Shadow
2. Dreamsword
3. Thin Concentric Circles
4. Aranea Tedii
5. Incantesimo d'Autunno
6. Temporal Stasis
7. Noir (Your Coloured Soul)
8. Doloris Charisma
9. Moongod
10. Splendor's Bearer
11. Orien
12. The Luminous Trinity
13. Our Little Hidden Treasures
14. This Grey Enemy

A shroud

  1. Sick album. At times sounding like a doom metal Scarface soundtrack.

  2. Really digging this. Do you have any other releases by them? I tried looking for Walk Into My Open Womb but couldn't find a good link anywhere.

  3. Another mean write up and genuine, anonymous (?!), comment...I'll check it out. If you ever think to repost the Walk Into My Open Womb and/or Brand New Babylon I'd be indebted to you again. Thanks for keeping it going here! It's akin to hanging at a record store...when those places were common...when we could hang out.
