Weserbergland - Sacrae Symphonia No. 1 (2022)

 

The third album from this band from Norway.

The band was a nine piece big band here with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, violins, synths, oboe, French horn, saxophone and programming.

This is the follow up album to their 2020 Am Ende Der Welt which was a decent enough album. I will review their first album, which I have just got, sometimes later this spring.

Sacrae Symphonia No 1. is a forty minutes long dirge. It is one piece of music, one track.

The music is really funeral slow and is a blend of krautrock, jazz and space rock. 

The woodwinds creates an intense sound and cacophony.   

There is some subtle variations and dynamic changes during this piece of music.

There is not many of those and this is an album only fans of avant-garde music and funeral dirges will enjoy. 

It is a decent enough album in it's own right.
