Thy Listless Heart - Pilgrims on the Path of No Return (CD)

THY LISTLESS HEART is the sole creation of Simon Bibby, who recorded the album at his home in Derbyshire, England and then enlisted the skills of Greg Chandler (ESOTERIC) at Priory Recording Studios for mixing and mastering. Simon has a great track-record in creating metal dating back to the late 80's when he was bassist and later, guitarist in SEVENTH ANGEL, who released a couple of cool thrash metal albums on Under One Flag Records.

THY LISTLESS HEART is a different entity; it is atmospheric metal, filled with Doom elements and sad melodies, crowned with passionate singing. Think as if the atmospheric parts of PRIMORDIAL meet later ANATHEMA with a pinch of DEAD CAN DANCE thrown in. The album needs to be heard in its entirety to get the full emotions and atmospheres it creates; it is indeed a pilgrimage. From melodic, heavier and doomier tracks as As the Light Fades and the grasping The Precipice to ambient / folk inspired pieces as When the Spirit Departs the Body and Aefnian resulting in the almost monstrous (in length) track The Search for Meaning, it is all passionate and beautiful, although in a saddened way.
