Paul Chain - Dies Irae
Review by Francis Otolo
Dies Irae by Paul Chain is a haunting and atmospheric album that showcases the Italian musician's mastery of doom metal and experimental music. The album features eight tracks that are filled with dark, brooding melodies, heavy riffs, and eerie soundscapes that transport the listener to a world of darkness and despair.
The album opens with the title track, "Dies Irae," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its ominous piano melody and haunting vocals. This is followed by "The Room of Shadows," a slow and atmospheric track that features haunting guitar riffs and eerie whispers.
Other standout tracks on the album include "The Golgotha's Hill," a slow and mournful track that features beautiful acoustic guitar work, and "The Tower of Astaroth," a heavy and intense track that features thunderous drums and crushing riffs.

funny it says "buy this record" when that is practically impossible.. If I found it for less than 30 bucks on LP I would shell it out though! Great album, super synthy and spacey.
Paul Chain rules!
quanto mi mancano album ufficiali di Paolo ! ... per me anche questo album era (è) stupendo !
;)
Ciao Wally! Scusa se ti rispondo ora! Ottima richiesta! Avevo in mente di caricare qualcosa di "Opera X" appena ho possibilità. Molte rarità, come ben sai, non sono così facili da trovare. Vedo comunque quello che posso fare! A presto! ( Felis )
bellissimo. ma puoi caricare, se possiedi, altra roba d'organo di Chain antecedente il periodo synth, cioè quando usava solo il vero organo da chiesa senza nessun effetto?
roba così cioè, come digitando:
Death SS rare live in Certaldo 1983 (Sanctis Ghoram on vocals!!!) - Organ Intro
