NOUMENA - Anima (Ltd.Digi) (Sealed) (CD)

digipak. The upcoming album presents the darkest and the most melancholic Noumena so far. The band’s unique style that weaves wistful melodies is present once again. The songs offer glimpses of Finnish folk music and old schlager fortified with merciless and heavy base. The distinctive feature of “Anima” is melancholy and serenity. Thematically the album approaches death and loss from various viewpoints. Anima is a manifestation of spirit, soul and vitality, which takes a form of a soul bird in Finnish folklore. It is an ethereal spirit animal, who brings soul in birth and takes it away in death. As “Saatto” song puts it: eventually everyone joins the symphony of souls and leaves only echoes in this world.
