  1. Mirror of My Soul – October Is Rising Review By Andy-War-Hall

    Now—as summer blasts the Earth into a fly-ridden heath—is when I long most for fall. So I get why Patrik Andersson Winberg’s (Dun Ringill, Doomdogs) new solo project Mirror of My Soul would debut this June with October Is Rising.1 A folk project empowered with hard rock muscle and gothic gravitas, Mirror of My Soul aims for atmospheric storytelling and organic song structuring. Joined by drummers Pete Campbell (Axe Dragger, ex-Pentagram) and Tobbe Strandvik, keyboardist Per Wiberg (Tiamat, ex-Opeth), guitarist Patric Grammann (Dun Ringill) and a whole host of vocalists,2 October Is Rising is poised to be an introspective, moody, and engrossing trek through rustic moods and colder temps. But is this album autumn’s light at the end of the tunnel, or is there no relief from summer to be found here?

    October Is Rising is a clinic on complementary musicianship. Working within gothic country, folk, and blues rock, October Is Rising lives in slow, sparse compositions that won’t wow listeners with panache. Songs like “A Good Day to Die” and “The Owl” use simple guitar and banjo parts, respectively, to set the stage for spirited vocal performances, while “October Is Rising” and “Grandpa” utilize particularly minimal instrumentation to highlight their singers’ stories. Mirror of My Soul can rip it when necessary, as heard on the Jethro Tullesque flute riffing on “Mina Fotavtryck” and the slick hi-hat work on “Dancing Slowly on the Porch,” but October Is Rising’s musical prowess lies less in individual performance and more in band dynamics. “Lost in the Red Wine” and “The One Who Sings the Songs” pulse in ways that sneakily build and bounce off their individual parts to sound a lot bigger than their thin instrumentation would imply. Mirror of My Soul is composed of industry veterans, and it sounds like it; these guys bring out the best in each other.

    Setting rich moods and storytelling are Mirror of My Soul’s game. They’re pros at it. October Is Rising is a pensive autumnal stroll through gloom with the sort of eerie coziness that at varying times reminded me of Fields of the Nephilim, Current 93, and the Over the Garden Wall soundtrack.3 Soundscapes of pale light and fresh darkness bestow tracks like “The Painter,” “Grandpa,” and “Tree on that Hill” a deeply affecting and melancholic quality, shaped by the aforementioned stark instrumentation and poignant vocals. October Is Rising is littered with pathos-imbued bars delivered with conviction, where phrases as obtuse as “The bad news was a feather from a dead bird” (“The Letter”) hit with the sensitivity of straightforward heart-wrenchers like “The trees showed me how to make it all last. There is no future without a vivid past” (“Tree on that Hill”). Mirror of My Soul bring everything you’d want from a singer-songwriter project musically: bittersweet strolls down memory lane, deep into introspection.

    October Is Rising listens like a work of singular vision, but not of one voice. There are no bad singers on October Is Rising, mind you, and the diverse cast can be a boon. There aren’t many records out there that can, in one moment, recall Alice in Chains (“Coyote”) and Peter Gabriel the next (“Tree on that Hill”),4 Lou Reed one minute (“Carry Your Soul”) and Johnny Cash another (“A Good Day to Die”). But this committee approach also deprives October Is Rising of singer-songwriter music’s strongest aspect: the intimate conversation between artist and audience. It’s hard to think of Mirror of My Soul as Winberg’s personal exploration of a gloaming Earth when you have to adjust to a new singer every song. October Is Rising still feels cohesive thanks to Winberg’s consistent and compelling songwriting, but I believe one or two good singers would’ve made the record connect that much better.

    Mirror of My Soul bring the wistfulness of autumn on October Is Rising. Tight musicianship and smart songwriting carry the listener through Winberg’s stories, sometimes outlandish and always engaging. Though I think one singer would’ve made Mirror of My Soul a more focused entity—or perhaps one singer across every song à la Tobias Sammet of AvantastiaOctober Is Rising is nevertheless a greatly enjoyable work that I could confidently recommend to anyone interested in gothic rock/country/folk. At the very least, when the upcoming months get hot as balls, it’ll be a good reminder that, in the near future, October Is Rising indeed.

  20. I didn't deliberately set out to go full Fields of the Nephilim "Dawnrazor" album cover, it just kinda happened. But it was cosy on a sunny but cold day, all wrapped up. And I *do* like that album...

  24. Znakomity muzycznie wieczór w mieście Łodzi. The Chameleons na szczęście pamiętają stare numery a Fields of the Nephilim - każdemu zespołowi (i wokaliście) życzę takiej formy po 40 latach na scenie. A repertuar: same hity (wybierz któryś, na pewno był). I fajnie, że udało się dodać Polskę do jubileuszowej minitrasy po UK.

  26. Wednesday ~ #DeadbutDreaming!? #FieldsoftheNephilim will probably "always" remain the "biggest" #goth #rock band - for me. Their concerts were ceremonies back then. I don't know if that still works today? Back then, they blew everything away… Huge inspiration for our #ttrpg table(s). #music #fotn

  27. I would be interested to know to what extent there is a relationship between #RosettaStone and #FieldsoftheNephilim? Musically, I can hear some overlaps. #goth #gothrock #Wave #Rock #Music #FotN

  30. Dank der Erinnerung durch @fasi habe ich an meine ehemalige Vinyl-Sammlung von Fields Of The Nephilim gedacht. Ein schönes Sammelgebiet!
    Hier sieht man in der oberen Reihe zwei Versionen von Moonchild 12" und die 7".
    In der unteren Reihe zwei Versionen von Sumerland 12" und die 7". Die Sumerland-Covers sind Gatefold.
    Wenn man die Moonchild-Covers umdreht, ergeben sie zusammen das Foto von Carl McCoy wie auf der Single.

    Wenn ich heute sehe, wie schnell alle Infos über Veröffentlichungen dank Internet und z.B. Discogs verfügbar sind... Davor hatte man teilweise ja nur über Hörensagen erfahren, dass bestimmte Platten überhaupt existieren. 😅
    An dieser Stelle lieben Dank an die Macher*innen des Burning-Fields-Fanzines, die mir damals bei einer Fährte weitergeholfen hatten. 🩶
