Description/Reviews
I decided to start with the album’s opening track, “Alabaster”. Man, what a pleasant surprise! The air hangs heavy around this music, like a shroud of oppressive sorrow. It brings the weight of doom, but the music is also electrified by razor-sharp riffing, prog-minded digressions, and scarring, shrieked vocals. The vibrating tremolo’d melodies move in powerful waves through this atmospheric display of melodic black metal.
I really couldn’t stop there, so I let the music carry me into the second song, “Peering Inward”. It’s somewhat slower and more stately than the opener, but just as dramatic and accomplished, both in the songwriting and in the performances (and I loved the bass line in this song, too). Emotionally intense and memorable, it was enough to convince me to buy the album and finish it at my leisure. (nocleansinging.com)
