Harbinger of Storms is the work of one-man bedroom producer Shane Edward Semler. “Talos” is the companion to his last EP release, “Jupiter”. “Talos” is Epic Doom Metal, inspired by mythology, melodrama, tragedy, romantic themes, and Shane’s own life experiences. Musical influences include Candlemass, Novembers Doom, Solitude Aeturnus, Clan of Xymox, My Dying Bride, and Virgin Black.
Those whose ears are used to being battered by the so-called “loudness wars” may perceive the audio to be quiet. There are no excessive processing or mastering tricks in use here. This is a conscious choice and allows for more dynamic range and is closer to what the artist hears in the studio. Crank it up.
