Earlier this year, I reviewed Ewigkeit's "Land of Fog 20/20 ReVision". Now, as autumn is commencing there is a new release by James Fogarty (In the Woods... / Jaldaboath / Old Forest). Ewigkeit's newest work is a five-track EP lasting exactly 23 minutes.
On "23" Ewigkeit sounds a lot different that on recent works. The music is still very progressive but a bit less experimental. Also, the Black Metal theme have almost completely been abandoned on this EP. Instead, Fogarty adds lots of elements from Doom Metal and Stoner Rock to the musical atmosphere on "23".
Speaking of Doom Metal, the opening track 'Bring the Eschaton' (video above) speaks volumes. With this powerful track Ewigkeit sets the pace fot the EP: massive, heavy and nihilistic Prog Metal for the end of the world.

The EP sounds like the musicked story about someone who has smoked the devil's lettuce a bit too much and then fell for conspiracy theories.
Nevertheless, the musical execution of this tragicomic story is gorgeous. Fogarty can unfold his voice spectrum beautifully on this Doom Prog sphere, and the instrumentalization keeps the EP exciting and catchy over all 23 minutes.
