Tracklist:
1.
Hautasaattue 2. Yön alttarilla
3. Mustan usvan takana (Instrumental)
This is the latest and seventh full length from the prolific two man Finnish depressive black metal project Kalmankantaja. It features “Grim666” providing all the musicianship, and “Nagh” providing vocals.
Considering just how prolific this band has been since being formed in 2011 it is surprising that they continue to put out quality music, for example in 2014 the band put out four full length albums, Ikuinen taival, Ahdistus, Musta lampi,and Viimeinen virsi all of which are well worth listen.
This album starts off with clear intent with the first track Hautasaattue which is in my opinion the best track on the album, as it features some stunning melodic gloom displayed through raw and painful riffs that work in perfect harmony with the choked cries and screams of Nagh. This track really does draw the listener into a long and harrowing trail of nature, isolation and depression.
My only problem with this album is the final track, Mustan usvan takana which is a dull and pretty repetitive instrumental based mainly on ambiance and uninspired keyboard playing, this is a real shame as it gives the albums conclusion a very drawn out and needless feel that leaves it a little flat.
However, despite its problems this is still a good depressive black metal album, with strong riff’s and superb vocals, I highly recommend you check it out.
