Voyage in Solitude - Through the Mist with Courage and Sorrow (2020) EN



Derrick Lin is back on my blog with his project Voyage in Solitude after two years with his new album called Through the Mist with Courage and Sorrow. As always, he invites his audience to the loud and dark world of solo post-metal and a visit like this is always pure joy.

His project is devoted to expressing the feelings of "loneliness, helplessness, frustration of people in the city (he is) living in". However, on the new album, there's a lot of sounds suggesting some hope and its elevated nature as well as courage that is even mentioned in the album's title. It's well audible in Dark Mist, a track with some ecstatic guitars and strings and with depression-filled vocals. Still, the album is ruled by post-metal sounds - raw and dark guitars, automatic drums, this whole metal aggressive vibe toned down and slightly covered by the ethereal.

Another thing are samples with spoken word in the mesmerizing Incoming Transmission, absolutely tear-jerking noise in Memories or the album's finish in almost a ballad-like In Between. A lot of good stuff here and by good I mean beautifully noisy.

Through the Mist with Courage and Sorrow costs 6.99 USD.
