Press-Voices of "Collapsing Polarites":

Destructive Music (9/10):
„…an absolute must own…
… mesmerizing is the vocal talent. I haven’t heard a singer in Metal with a voice this gripping since the late Pete Steele and that is very high praise…
… Collapsing Polarities is a passionate display of wonderful technical prowess, sublime song craft and beautiful soaring melodies and harmonies!...”

Time for Metal (10/10):
„…with his new masterpiece Coldun reaches for the stars…
... a journey into a wonderful doom rock record ...
.. all songs are full of timeless dramatic art that fascinates every fan of melancholy sounds…
…what he is presented us here is just amazing – a real hammer!...
…Mr. Coldun did it exactly right and fired up with Collapsing Polarities a grandiose sequel to the debut album. Play worthwhile for all those who worship doom metal atmospheres with a rock painting! ...
…excited with quiet, dreamy parts and a voice that sounds better than ever. I can only recommend everyone to get this CD, because what is offered here, is art at the highest level ..."

Rottinghill (9/10):
"... Coldun make it with this album, to develop a completely new style ...
…especially the vocals impresses with professional accuracy, acts always emotionally charged and authentically. But what makes the album to my ears really interesting is the endless variety of arrangements, ideas and influences from other genres ...
…Coldun has convinced me with this album completely...
... I recommend "Collapsing Polarities" to anyone who has something to do with the genre - it's absolute worth ... "!

Legacy (11 Punkte):
"... an opulent album, because sound is really written with large S ...
… beside that comes a shining voice that remembers at the very best times of Vintersorg ...
… get this piece and be happy about it…"

Metalmessage (8/10):
"... one of the undoubtedly most talented and clearly best metal vocalists from Germany ...
… the superb moods of his new songs always go into the deepest heart ...
... The entire design of the release counts to greatest level what the heavy metal area knows ...
… the differentiated art of the Saxon gooseskin-master combines phenomenally completely unspoilt feeling and extensive skills ...
… often Coldun approaches so courageous visionary, so sublime majestic and inspiring so far-sighted that it can make the present completely irrelevant, if you let yourself only go... "

Streetclip. tv (9/10):
"... These vocals are superior, almost soul touching and never too pathetic. Just great! Joining to them is an almost progressive song structure that will immerse you in epic spheres and never seems to be too pushy…
…COLDUN has created his masterpiece! ... "

Metal. de (8/10):
"... his warm, powerful and emotional voice can shine in a perfect way ...
…it excite with epic melodic doom metal of an independent direction...
... COLDUN overtrumps the often cheap pathos of those troops (Ereb Altor, Atlantean Kodex) with real atmosphere and real epic and is simply better than that by far. And above it all towers the very warm and expressive voice of Coldun that again and again produces goose bumps and fits perfectly in an outstanding way to the also very expressive and dynamic compositions ...”

Nachtaktiv-Magazin:
“..what is shown on “Collapsing Polarities” is really really great cinema! Fat guitar walls, outstanding vocals, just very intense rock music that breaks all genre-boarders…”

Music-Discovery (Special Tip Jan.14):
"... Very melodic and distinctive and therefore extremely interesting ...
... a very skillful game between calm parts and the real power adds variety and gives the songs the necessary kicks ..."

Against Magazine:
„…the songs are led to their climax when the frenetic yet melodic guitar solos are beautifully executed…
… Coldun fills our ears with his deep voice which stands as the main attraction….
…the rock environment delivers a new fresh air within the doom scene…”

Myrevelation:
"Seven years after the debut "necessariis? Dubiis? Caritas?" Coldun published with "Collapsing Polarities" a surprise bag for the open-minded music lover ...
... A surprisingly independent sound ...
Despite the consistently rather slow tempo, it is never boring ...
All maniacs who need something calm and intense between the rough records, this insider tip is warmly recommended ... "

Monsters and Critics:
"... slow and atmospheric but at the same time incredibly heavy, it puts you in a very relaxed mood ...
…you just want to hear it again and again ...
…Heavy and melancholy at the same time, in all this beautiful sadness - Grandiose ...
Coldun fully convinced me with this masterpiece... "

I just discovered this band. All aspects are exceptional: vocals, instruments, composition. If I had to say what it sounds like, I would say a more metal Kansas, with Queen like guitar parts, and Blind Guardian-like sense of orchestration and story telling. The connection to 70s prog (in a lot of aspects) makes this such an enjoyable journey. MindOverFour
