Citadel of StarsSIG:AR:TYRAlbumGenre: MetalDescription: Citadel of Stars is a landmark album. It is an experience you have never heard before a journey to the stars! A unique blend of epic pagan metal and blackened traditional metal Citadel of Stars is both a mournful dirge for a dying age and a hopeful glimpse into a rebirth among the stars. Canadian one-man act SIG:AR:TYR is back with Citadel of Stars. The first new album since 2016's Northen sees a return to the dark atmospheres of previous works weaving the past present and future into a landmark release that echoes the epic themes spanning 20 years of SIG:AR:TYR's musical legacy. Building from the early years of acoustic guitar and ambient sounds to a series of albums that seamlessly blend epic pagan metal with introspective instrumentals Citadel of Stars is the culmination of two decades of musical evolution that takes you on a spiritual journey to the stars and back with an experience you have not heard before and will not easily forget. It is hard to pick songs or highlight them because Citadel of Stars floats it takes you on a journey and before you know it you realize you need to push play again: that is the strength of this great album. The Citadel of Stars release includes a beautiful 2-LP vinyl edition (first time that SIG:AR:TYR has had a vinyl release) and a limited edition Digipack 2-CD version that includes the 2003 acoustic demo that started it all... The Stranger which has never before been formally released.
