At the turn of the millennium, THALARION were one of the fundamental bands of the Slovak metal underground. Not only because of the contract abroad, but mainly because of the quality of their music. As a fan of THEATRE OF TRAGEDY, THE GATHERING, DREAMS OF SANITY or even the Slovak GALADRIEL, I couldn’t miss also THALARION. Their music enchanted me. “Tales Of The Woods... Thus Was Written” (1998) already sounded amazing, but the third album “Four Elements Mysterium” is my favourite of all THALARION recordings. Plenty of catchy riffs blending doom metal with melodic death metal, charming vocals, and especially the “beauty and the beast” approach, popular at that time, offering atmospheric heaviness, gloom... this is just a part of what the original nine-track album has been offering for listening for a quarter of a century.
This anniversary prompted me to re-edition “Four Elements Mysterium” on my label Pařát Productions, while not killing two birds with one stone. That explains why the digipak edition was released in August, while the LP version didn’t come out until December.
A gift for the album's 25th birthday!
