With his sixth UNREQVITED album, \"Beautiful Ghosts\" driving force and sole member ? has set out to fearlessly explore this for headbangers rather \"scary\" emotion. According to the multi-instrumentalist there are strong themes of love, passion, and devotion on this record.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nAs a result of journeying into his mind and collecting a wide range of emotions, ? has included many lighter and more uplifting passages than previously on \"Beautiful Ghosts\", although dark twists are balancing the score. New elements include a significant use of clean vocals throughout the album and there are even playfully progressive rhythms as in the opening track 'All Is Lost'. The core elements that have shaped UNREQVITED in the past remain active as well. The massive anthemic refrains from \"Mosaic I: L'amour Et L'ardeur\" (2018) are equally present as the simple melancholic melodies from the 2016 debut album \"Disquiet\" and the orchestral grandeur of \"Empathica\" (2020).\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nEver since ? conceived UNREQVITED as a special musical vehicle for his multi-faceted creative output and brought it to light in 2016, his project has been a constantly shape-shifting and stylistically wide roaming creature. With \"Beautiful Ghosts\", the Canadian is at the same time gathering the strands of his previous works and taking an innovative step forward that makes it even harder to slap just one label onto his sound. \"Beautiful Ghosts\" applies a rich palette of musical colours, hues, and shades that are passionately blended together by the theme of \"love\".  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53021554770217,"sku":"P-48541-","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Unreqvited-Beautiful-Ghosts-LP-Gatefold-48541-1-1645053771.jpg?v=1778022408"},{"product_id":"unreqvited-stars-wept-to-the-sea-cd","title":"Unreqvited - Stars Wept to the Sea - CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnreqvited is an obscure one-man band hailing from the cold lands of Canada we are extremely pleased to welcome to the Avantgarde Music roster. Its sophomore album, Stars Wept To The Sea, is a huge step forward towards maturity, adding to the original depressive, post-black metal sound heard on debut Disquiet a huge load of ideas, sparks and personality. This allowed Unreqvited to create far more distinctive music. As the band mastermind ? stated \"the album maintains the melancholic depressive sound [of Disquiet], but has augmented and built upon it to showcase a new side of Unreqvited songwriting. In comparison, Stars Wept To The Sea features a far more orchestral arrangement, more fully instrumental songs, and a much darker overall sound\". Wether you like depressive black metal tunes, old school keyboard samples, post-black metal riffs or blackgaze melodies, this album will quench your thirst. Stars Wept To The Sea is fully written, engineered, mixed and mastered by ?, and features guest vocals from a female vocalist named Arctica on the third track \"Stardust\", which you can stream as a preview single on Bandcamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=140875127\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/unreqvited.bandcamp.com\/album\/stars-wept-to-the-sea\"\u003eStars Wept to the Sea by Unreqvited\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53021901750569,"sku":"P-49366-","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Unreqvited-Stars-Wept-to-the-Sea-CD-49366-1-1649698004.jpg?v=1778024853"},{"product_id":"unreqvited-mosaic-i-lamour-et-lardeur-lp-colored","title":"Unreqvited - Mosaic I: L'amour Et L'ardeur - LP COLORED","description":"\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1042261869\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flowingdownward.bandcamp.com\/album\/mosaic-i-l-amour-et-l-ardeur\"\u003eMosaic I: L’amour et l’ardeur. by Unreqvited\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53031546978601,"sku":"P-65649-","price":23.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Unreqvited-Mosaic-I-L-amour-Et-L-ardeur-LP-COLORED-65649-1-1770215597.jpg?v=1778076180"},{"product_id":"unreqvited-beautiful-ghosts-cd-digipak","title":"Unreqvited - Beautiful Ghosts - CD DIGIPAK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Kodama\" the fifth album from Blackgaze pioneers, Alcest, marks the French duo's ferocious return to the stylistic maximalism of its early albums while continuing the band's relentless pursuit for new sounds and fresh ideas.\r\n\"Kodama\" is the Japanese word for 'tree spirit' and 'echo' and from the album's structure and dynamics to its cinematic sound, \"Kodama\" indeed 'echoes' Alcest's 2010 classic, \"Écailles De Lune\". But this is no simple back-to-the-roots album: the band has more punch, rhythm and organic feel than ever before. While clearly influenced by bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Dinosaur Jr, Grimes and The Cure, \"Kodama\" ultimately reveals itself as Alcest's 'Japanese album', drawing substantial inspiration from Japanese art and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nOriginally triggered by Hayao Miyazaki's anime film \"Princess Mononoke\", \"Kodama\" picks up on the fate of its protagonist and, at its core, deals with the sensation of not belonging; of living in between worlds, be it city and nature or the physical and spiritual one. Duality is also crucial for the visual approach of the album, realized by French graphic designer duo Førtifem. Paying tribute to Japanese illustrators like Takato Yamamoto, the visuals portray contrasting elements like nature\/urbanity, youth\/death, femininity\/animality and combine poetic elements with darker ones that were not present in Alcest's earlier works.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nBy giving the album a cultural, stylistic and compositional narrative, Neige and Winterhalter keep \"Kodama\" from just being the latest improvement on the Alcest sound and instead make the album a most rare and exciting thing: a vital, relevant record from a pioneer that not only upholds the band's trailblazing legacy but actually makes you want to see where they go next. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3672356025\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/alcest.bandcamp.com\/album\/kodama\"\u003eKodama by Alcest\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53170642354473,"sku":"P-48642-","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Unreqvited-Beautiful-Ghosts-CD-DIGIPAK-48642-1-1645467649.jpg?v=1778701836"}],"url":"https:\/\/shopusa.season-of-mist.com\/collections\/band-music-unreqvited.oembed","provider":"Season of Mist - North America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
