This -song debut EP shows the promise that Various Artists has. Awaken the dragon is an amazing album, racked with beauty.three years ago, Various Artists briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “The Five Emperors”. Oh yes, this album gets out of
The Five Emperors is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. I now have Bal Of Thieves as one of my personal favorites. Various Artists allows each song to breathe and flourish. I can’t stop playing The Messenger and The Spiritwind. From the moment you listen to The King Of Vermin you’re hooked. Still going through Awaken the dragon and coming to appreciate Verfall more and more with every listen. Until The Sun Returns is the most memorable and gorgeous. This track is clearly meant to showcase Various Artists’s vocal abilities. I love the melodic melody of Pazuzu and to this day it makes me feel good. This song may be the most meaningful. Outro - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody.
