This is not a traditional metal album. It is a monolithic atmospheric work at the intersection of dungeon synth, ambient and epic fantasy music. "The Wind Over The Green Hills" is based on mid-tempo, simple yet catchy melodies and multilayered synthesizer arrangements. The sound is formed around plangent pads, choirs, folky tones and melancholic harmonies. The music progresses without dramatic changes and climaxes - it slowly envelopes listeners, working like a continuous landscape, where one track smoothly flows into another. ‘Treebeard’ and ‘The Wind Over The Green Hills’ are light and contemplative, while ‘Minas Morgul’ and ‘Denethor’s Downfall’ are darker, colder tracks carrying a sense of impending doom and ancient tragedy. The album has neither overloaded arrangements nor virtuosity for the sake of virtuosity. It is strong point is a mood: the feeling of loneliness, the sense of antiquity and peace. The music seems to come from the depths of centuries. This immersive work is perfect for reading Tolkien, night walks, tabletop role-playing games and thoughtful listening on headphones.
