Pyramids With Nadja - An Angel Was Heard To Cry Over The City Of Rome
You know Pyramids. You know Nadja. You know I'm a freak for both of them. I had stupidly high expectations for this collaboration. And this is the first time ever, EVER, that my expectations for a supposed-to-be-awesome collab have been met. IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME.
This is an album of epic beauty, a majestic world crumbling, a dark forest with floods rushing through, an avalanche charging down the mountainside. Crushingly magnificent ambient metal gaze noise.
Truthfully, this review was just an excuse to post the last song on Pyramids With Nadja, "An Angel Was Heard..." That song is fucking stunning. I can't believe how gorgeous it is. Listen to it and be convinced that the people who made this record are gods.

Thanks! Agreed 100%
oh man i didn't even know this existed! now i am very excited. thank you for opening my eyes, good sir.
The second time the drums come in on this is jawdropping. The first time is perfectly weighted but the second lifts it that much further. 6 minutes into Another War is also incredible - all the more for being so unexpected.
damn its gotta suck for the new nadja when the old nadja from italy circa 1983 is essentially scarier & vastly superior to this newfangled incarnate. oh well
Uh oh Anonymous, them's fightin words around here. I've never heard the Italian Nadja but the Candian Nadja is damn near flawless. Maybe I'll have to check 'em out and see if you're telling the truth.
