With Blakkheim's unorthodox approach to this type of music you're sure to think to yourself "Are they playing that keyboard as lead guitar?" or "That was the grooviest abrasive riff I've ever heard" The keyboards on this album are easily the most prominent instrument, creating all kinds of eerie, emotional, uplifting, and yet bizarrely wretched melodies that provide the foundation for the rest of the instruments. Swano is a machine on the drums whilst Blakkheim shreds out some of the tastiest riffs this side of the galaxy. And somewhere in the mix, Blackheim finds room to shove his raspy, croaking vocals into all of this. With excellent chord progression through their tracks and awesome interludes laden throughout setting up the excellent structures we hear throughout Blakkheim has truly created something unique in a scene overpowered by mediocre sound-a-like scene music. Blakkheim truly showing his creativity with this band considering his two main bands. He's been given full room to stretch his wings and has produced a truly amazing, albeit cult album which will have fans listening for years to come.
On first glance the lyrics looked quite horrible, sometimes not even making sense. To the non initiated of this genre of music their first thought would be to label this evil and disturbing music, However such a stance would be childish as the music is beautiful none the less, whether it portrays the light or the dark is irrelevant as both the light and dark are within us.
One of the greatest side projects I've had the pleasure of listening to
Here's a taste off of my favourite song on the album "Haunted by Horror"
Hope you enjoy it,
Peace
