The Lightbringer hailing from Quebec Canada skilfully combines the strengths of black and power metal. The various moods and textures are linked together and merge into each other allowing the texts to come alive within the listener's imagination. Guitars, sometimes melodic and incisive, sometimes atmospheric and poignant are supported by haunting arrangements on keyboards and by a dynamic bass line and an energetic battery. The trio of model and enriched voices that characterize the mythical universe "Quintessence of Dawn" is as easy to listen for fans of all genres than a deep experience for music lovers looking for the thrill of contemplating an overall work. Because that's what "The Lightbringer" is: an artistic whole that will please scholars who will want to dissect and discover its hidden treasures.
The project of singer and multi-instrumentalist Marz Rieste explores dark fantasy themes through menacing, doomy black metal.
