Alms' album "An Irosmic Tragedy" is a powerful and emotive collection of songs that showcase the band's talent for creating dynamic and evocative music. The album's themes of loss, grief, and tragedy are woven throughout each track, creating a cohesive and deeply moving listening experience.
The album opens with the haunting "The Toll," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its melancholic melodies and mournful lyrics. From there, Alms takes listeners on a journey through the depths of human emotion, exploring the pain and sorrow that can come with love and loss.
Songs like "Eulogy" and "Funeral Hymn" are particularly poignant, with their slow, mournful rhythms and heart-wrenching lyrics. But even in the midst of such darkness, there are moments of hope and beauty, such as the soaring guitar solos on "Lament," or the uplifting chorus of "The Wake."
