Background information über 'Fallen Angel´s Dominion'

Thulcandra delivers a haunting tribute to the golden era of Scandinavian black metal with "Fallen Angel's Dominion", their debut full-length that feels like discovering a lost relic from the early '90s. The German quartet, masterminded by Steffen Kummerer (also known from Obscura), crafts an atmosphere so authentically vintage that you'd swear this was unearthed from some forgotten Nordic vault. The album opens with the ominous "In The Realm Of Thousand Deaths" before launching into the epic "Night Eternal", where tremolo-picked melodies dance over blast beats with the kind of melancholic beauty that made Dissection legends.

What sets this release apart is how Thulcandra manages to channel the spirit of classic black metal without falling into mere imitation. Tracks like the title song "Fallen Angel's Dominion" and "Frozen Kingdom" showcase the band's ability to weave intricate guitar harmonies that recall the melodic sophistication of mid-'90s Swedish black metal, while maintaining their own identity. The album closes with a cover of Dissection's"The Somberlain", which serves as both homage and statement of intent - this is black metal crafted by true devotees of the genre.
