Debut full-length album by Austrian Melodic Death/Black Metal band.
Duo side-project of THIRD MOON members.
Mixture of Death Metal with some Black Metal elements. There are melodic and groovy parts in it too. These components create an atmospheric sound structure, which reminds of the Swedish Melodic Death Metal Style, but the tracks have a certain independent touch. Fantastic acoustic passages liven up the songs, in order to go ahead with brutal hard riffing and double bass attacks. The songs sound spontaneous and honest. Vocally Wolfgang Rothbauer covers a wide range. From deep Death Metal Growls (Heretic, Down), Black Metal screaming (Orphaned Heaven, Sworn) to spoken or whispered passages (Ardour, Lunar Scars) you will hear everything on this album. The changing vocals follow the mood of the music perfectly.
Recommended for fans of Dark Tranquility to every fan of the Melodic Death genre!
