Celestial Season - Mysterium II (Full Album 2022)

Fall 2022 sees Dutch Doom pioneers Celestial Season release the second full-length album of the Mysterium trilogy, ‘Mysterium II’. ‘Mysterium I’, the first album of a trilogy was released earlier this year and received raving reviews putting the band back into the position as masters of the #Doom / #Death #Metal genre. ‘Mysterium II’ dives into the more funeral and melancholic side of Celestial Season, songs which are reminiscent of their 1994 demo leading up to the ’95 classic ‘Solar Lovers’, with focus on long violin and cello interludes woven in with the signature Celestial Season twin guitar melodies. Formed in the early nineties, the Dutch group attained international acclaim with their first two full-length albums, “Forever Scarlet Passion” from 1993 and “Solar Lovers” from 1995, both still regarded as seminal doom-metal releases right next to Anathema’s “Serenades”, Paradise Lost’s “Gothic” and My Dying Bride’s “Turn Loose the Swans”.
