This is
the third release from the Canadian solo black metal project helmed by Colby
Hink, and was only released a few days ago at the time of writing this review.
With some delicate
acousticand and orchestral elements, and slow doom and gloom ridden riffs this EP casts a depressive
and bleak picture of suicide and death that is filled with internal suffering
and misery. The vocals are a collection of almost whispered screams that match
the subline lyrics perfectly.
One aspect
of this EP that did come as a surprise was the often very fast kick bass and
snare beats that provided a surprisingly fitting backing to the other elements
of the EP.
Overall
this EP is a masterful piece of depressive black metal that will dampen the
spirits of the listener, and leave them with a vivid picture of nature, loneliness, depression
and ultimately death that will haunt you for some time afterwards. I strongly recommend
this to fans of raw depressive black metal.
