Demo Review: Osgiliath – L'ombre du Passé (1998)

Osgiliath was a relatively short-lived folk-black metal/epic black metal band from France, active only in the mid-late 90s. This is their second demo.

The demo begins with a nice synth piece that has a very fantastical atmosphere, and also has some narration that I can't understand because it's in french (PLEASE I HAVE SO MANY MUTUALS/FRIENDS THAT SPEAK FRENCH IF U DONT MIND, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IT'S SAYING I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW. The intro is very pleasant, and also doesn't overstay its welcome like many synth intros tend to do.

After the intro, it kicks straight into the first track, and the band displays their particularly talented rhythm section (the bass on this demo is sooooo good. very groovy), as well as some proficient riffing. However, the guitar isn't the center of the album. Instead, most melodies are provided by synths and some kind of flute.

The vocals are great on this release too, they're a lower growl, with a kind of unhinged, almost hateful quality to the screams that - along with the distorted guitar - creates a nice juxtaposition with the frail flutes and ethereal synths. The screams actually remind me a bit of Grausamkeit's Stardust demo. There's also a big use of clean vocals on this album, something I usually dislike in metal, but I think it works well here, especially the female vocalist as she has a very soothing and pleasant voice.

The production is actually pretty fuckin good on this demo. Everything is audible, nothing drowns anything else out, it isn't super muddy or piercing, and each instrument is allowed to shine, with the vocals sitting on top nicely. There's a bit of a lack of lower bass frequencies, but it doesn't harm the demo at all, because everything else is very nicely rounded out. Unlike most black metal, this demo has a very warm and pleasant sound to it, and honestly isn't particularly distorted or aggressive.

The songwriting is on par with most similar acts, and reminds me a bit of some neoclassical-influenced dungeon synth, without sounding like classical music. There are plenty of catchy melodies (many with a triumphant/epic feel), and each song is distinct from the rest. There are also some pretty decent mood-shifts, like when the title track gets kind of dark and gloomy for a bit then switches back into being triumphant and happy sounding.

Overall, this is a very refreshing and unique take on black metal, at least compared to what I usually listen to, and I like it a lot. I'm sad that this band didn't do more, as there's definitely a lot of talent here. The atmosphere of this release is palpable, and it indeed reminds me a lot of Lord of the Rings (which was definitely intended) and each track conjures up images of battles, fantastical lands, and creatures.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes folk-black, Tolkien, or bands like Phantom Spire or Summoning.

7/10

Standout track: Au Poney Fringant
