Black metal.
Riffs abound, and an axe-guy like me will eat
this up.
The melodies and guitar tone
have a more than passing resemblance to early Taake.
However, the level of emotion and conviction in the music is something
that not even Hoest has been able to recreate in many years.
Though the production has some grit, this is still extremely accessible
in its beauty.
They also use some
interesting effects, Spanish-influenced acoustic guitar, and even bird sounds
to add to the already deep atmosphere.
On the downside, things get a little repetitive about halfway
through.
The songs are different, but
maybe not different enough.
A little
more zest to the songwriting and this could have easily been a 9 or higher.
