When you hear the first chords of "Approaching the Shores of Solitude" you might expect something completely different from what is coming next. in fact I tried to create an atmosphere that, according to the monotony and the quite strange harmonics, is actually very dark and depressing. to me it was the perfect introduction to a story that indeed contains at least in the first part exactly this feelings. the contrast to the lively "Winter Moonlight Tragedy" first doesn't seem to fit in this context, but as the story continues you will see that WMT is actually far away from being that happy as it sounds when you're listening to it.
as the titel of WMT already tells, the plot starts in winter. not as grim as the surroundings is the story itsself, indeed quite nice to be honest. at least the first sequence starts off as a lovestory - however, this is still black metal so it can't be that easy, can it? as it must be, its not at all a happy tale...I would like to say its too drastic to be real, but as life shows I have to admit that it is not far from what one might expierience everyday.
after all the first few moments of happyness fade away - left is suspicion, doubt, but also a certain determination to get everything in order at last. still there's nothing completely lost at the end of WMT...
