"The album to end the summer...
'Abandoned By The Sun', by Mater Thallium. Mater Thallium was formed in 2013 as as a celebration to iconic bearers of dark rock music — Candlemass, King Crimson and Black Sabbath — by two members of the legendary burlesque rock unit Procosmian Fannyfiddlers. After last year’s eponymous debut album, Mater Thallium immediately began work on their follow-up — the adventurous concept album, ‘Abandoned By The Sun’.
The first few moments of the album establish a link to the previous record, but hereafter the music moves in unexpected directions — from brutal sonic-assaults, to moments of uneasy quietness — showcasing their captivating melody lines, whilst underlining the sad despair of the libretto’s protagonists.
This is old-school heavy progressive rock, with a twist of doom, topped with flourishes of Scandinavian folk music."
