Songs of Moors & Misty Fields by Empyrium

Songs of Moors and Misty Fields (1997) is the second album by the German band Empyrium. Elaborating on their previous full-length album, A Wintersunset... released a year before, with Songs of Moors... Empyrium delve into a more sophisticated intricacy of what is sometimes called "romantic metal", offering a complicated mix of percussion, flutes, bass guitars and synths, together with its will-be trademark deep baritone male vocals performed by Schwadorf himself (who also plays virtually all the instrument parties, except for keyboards). The band's following two albums, Where at Night the Wood Grouse Plays (1999) and Weiland (2002), are purely acoustic.
