From the get-go this album smacks you in the face with hard-hitting, dramatic guitars and drums. The new album from The Living Fields is definately a force to be reckoned with! More melodic than pure all-out doom, the mixture of influences shines through in this 8 Track epic of mass destruction!
Remnant is the perfect way to kick off the album, setting the standards for the rest of the hour-long CD that just gets better and louder the further into it you get!
DOOM
METALLERS LIVING FIELDS RETURN WITH THEIR SECOND ALBUMThe Living Fields plays an eclectic smelt of metals fleshed out with piano, violins, viola, cello, acoustic guitars and a variety of internal and external musical influences. Though built around a core of deep respect for the early death /doom architects, The Living Fields’ songs are rife with healthy doses of thrash, black, Viking and epic metals that reflect the underlying moods and themes of the lyrics. Higgs’ storylines typically veer far to the left of the self-centered clichs of doom (love, loss and death) in favor of more universal horrors that flow freely from the seemingly endless parade of humanity’s self-inflicted plagues. Oppression, injustice, suffering and man’s inhumanity to man flourish with such virility in today’s world that merely turning on the news offers up ample material for an entire album. Reading any book of history provides enough for a dozen.Another three years in the making, Running Out of Daylight see the addition of a new guitarist – Sam Rahn – and the first appearance of real strings on our music, courtesy of violinist/violist Chuck Bontrager and cellist Petar Kecenovici. It also features both our longest and shortest songs ever, and the entire album is wrapped in our best production and biggest mix to date, courtesy of Jay Walsh at Farview Recording
