Vicious, sharp album that pounds you down with it's million accurate knife stabs. It packs such unexplained concentrated heaviness inside that it's not even funny. This record will swipe your smile off and take the command inside your brains. Unique and marvelous record that is hard to unwrap. It just works perfectly. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
"Kuolleen Maan Omaksi (Succumbed to the Dead Soil)" is everything else than easy (black metal) listening. It gets its intensity mainly from the exerted angry and suffering vocals which are always at the maximum. Sometimes this grinds the atmosphere the music itself would create (just listen to "Ikiuni "Eternal Sleep") completely down. I think with the right partition between atmospheric instrumental passages and desperate singing the dynamic and intensity of the songs would rise even further. H.L.
