Astolat - Monuments of Gold

Review by Fernando Terán

Astolat's Monuments of Gold is a mesmerizing album that showcases the band's unique blend of folk and rock music. The album features 10 tracks that are both evocative and captivating, with each song taking the listener on a journey through the band's rich musical landscape.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "The Last Unicorn," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's use of traditional instruments such as the fiddle and the mandolin, combined with the powerful vocals of lead singer, Sarah, creates a sound that is both timeless and modern.

Tracks like "The Lady of Shalott" and "The King's Daughter" are reminiscent of classic folk songs, but with a modern twist. The band's use of electric guitar and drums adds a rock edge to the music, making it accessible to a wider audience.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Avalon," a hauntingly beautiful song that showcases Sarah's vocals and the band's ability to create a rich, atmospheric sound. The song builds to a powerful crescendo, leaving the listener breathless.
