Blizaro - Light and Desolation CD
Blizaro's Light and Desolation is sonic alchemist John Gallo's (Orodruin / Crucifist / Altered Realm) latest triumph — the nexus where doom metal, true metal, 70s prog, and 70s-era Italian horror movie soundtracks meet. Gallo plays every instrument on the album, weaving doom-heavy guitar with his signature tone, Moog synth, organ, and haunting ethereal choirs.
"Light and Desolation highlights Gallo as the aural alchemist he is — a creative tour de force combined with his awe-inspiring skills as a multi-instrumentalist. What you get is truly unique: the requisite doom-heavy guitar with the signature Gallo tone, but embroidered with Moog synth, organ and haunting, ethereal-like choirs for shading and atmosphere. Combined with the fantasy-inspired lyrics, the album sounds like a sonic stroll through Mordor." — Chris Barnes, Hellride Music.com
