The Hallowing 据说是Autumn Tears的最后一张唱片.
重温他们过往十年来的作品如“Love Poems For Dying Children三部曲” 和 “Eclipse”, 这张新作虽仍未能用上”ethereal” 来形容, 色调之明亮也足以让它和其他几张划清界限. Autumn Tears似乎逐渐偏离了darkwave/gothic的航线, 回归更为学院派的(新)古典风格. 主音Erika的优美音色几没有变, 然而她如今那飘逸如圣诗般唱腔 (正好呼应了标题Hallowing) 与旧作三部曲中那个阴冷的女吸血鬼相比, 简直就是两个人嘛. (后者当年让我一听倾心)
…黑暗过后, 是光明, 也是一个”十年”的落幕.
PS. 唱片公司一早说好全球限量发行1000套, 结果…三周之内订购一空…像我们这种后知后觉的A.T.乐迷 想收藏便唯有期待再版(a.k.a. 平民版)之发行了.
