On this self-released album you can find 10 beautiful tracks that perfectly fit together and give you eargasms all day long. You can hear beautiful melodys and fast blast beats, a desperate voice and melancholic acoustic passages; everything what the heart of a melodic metal fan needs and even more.
The guitars are playing tremolo picked riffs, thrashy riffs and sometimes also just long notes in the choruses. The solos are very fast and breathtaking and the guitarists show us on every single track how high-skilled they are. The album has a lot of groove and thrash metal influences, but it's still definetly black metal. The drums are very dynamic and diverse and I really love the snare and the fills ins on this album. The band isn't afraid to experiment stuff and thats why we can also hear a breakdown in "Winter, White Season Of Power" or keyboard on "The Ocean Between Us" for example. The songs are very good structured and they always have a chorus or parts that get repeated. The wonderful leads are very catchy and they will stay in your head for days!
Lyrically, the band talks about melancholy, sorrow, solitude, rage and bitterness. The voice of the singer fits perfectly to the music. The voice is not really diverse, you can only hear a very good and tight high growl or a mid-low scream growl that is very powerfull, but it's enough to make this album perfect!
The production of the album is very good, the mix and master is good and it's still half-raw like other black metal releases. The cover art fits perfectly to the music and the only bad thing about the album is that it may get boring for some listeners after 25 minutes of listening because the songs are written in the same style and sound identic at some points.
This is not generic black metal, this is a beautiful masterpiece, a very melodic album with lots of other influences, don't be afraid to fall in love with it, check it out!
