about

Released on Seventh Crow Records - SCR038

"Die Grundstimmung ist eine düstere. Oft hört man Gitarren als Song-Basis, aber auch Orgelsounds fügen sich harmonisch in die Klanglandschaft ein. Wenn dieses Album von Nick Cave oder Tom Waits wäre, würden wahrscheinlich alle vor Begeisterung im Dreieck springen. [...] Außergewöhnlichen und sehr erwachsen klingenden Songs !" (Der Hoerspiegel)

"Su música es claramente influenciada por el blues y el folk, logrando un toque muy fino al momento de realizar composiciones. “Beautiful Things Don’t Die” es su octavo lanzamiento y cuarto Ep, y con tan solo cinco canciones este muchacho logra maniobrar de una manera perfecta su guitarra y su voz para traernos un Ep excelente y recomendable." (Reynaventura)

"En cinq titres seulement, Sébastyén D. nous offre une belle palette d’émotions et de nuances oniriques, Opium Dream Estate a su créer son propre univers tout en rendant parfois discrètement hommage à ses sources d’inspiration […] j’ai envie de dire, une fois de plus, affaire à suivre, décidément." (Les Acteurs de l'Ombre)

"Avec "Beautiful Things Don't Die", c’est comme si Opium Dream Estate acceptait de quitter la nuit et les univers qu’il y avait crées pour se risquer en plein jour, explorer de nouvelles pistes… En Douceur. [...] Ce mini, synonyme de changement de cap plus que de rupture, est une musique à vivre à ciel ouvert, même si les nuages n’ont pas quitté l’horizon." (Guts of darkness)

It's amazing that guitar and bass can produce such immersive, wintry soundscapes. The field recordings sprinkled throughout are the crowning touch. Music this deep goes beyond fleeting emotions (happy, sad, etc.), but overall despite its great gravity, it's curiously uplifting. fyeahmetal

Legends of the Wood
by Dead Melodies

supported by 4 fans who also own “Beautiful Things Don't Die”

Damp, foggy woodland. Rituals, tucked away huts, people that want to be left alone. I've written deep, ancient forests with this in the background. Packed pines, mulchy woodland carpets. nanashinoprofile
