OF ENTITY AND MIND

Winds came out of nowhere with this Ep in 2001. Seeing on the cover names such as Lars Eric Si or the virtuoso drummer Hellhammer (here with his real name, Jan Axel von Blomberg) one would expect a black metal fury or something like that. Here there is no fury beside that of feelings. Everything is warm and emotional. On songs such as In all reflections or An eternity of dreams one could only fall slave to the incredeible voice of Si, to the sounbd of the always-melodic guitar of Tidemann or to the incredible fantasy in the drumming of Hellhammer. Being a debut you could expect a little immaturity. What I think is that this band was born already old, in feelings and emotions, and this Ep is for me their best pubblication to this day. This is not music, this is emotion solidified in form of sounds to be assimilated and lived. Live it!
