The debut and only full-length album by Russian Symphonic Black Metal band.
Dryados's music is fairly different to any other band you'll ever hear. The music tends to change all the time. All instruments are balanced well and you can hear everything perfectly. The keyboards on songs like "Who's Your God Now" and "Phantasm" will make you happy. They are so haunting but so melodic as well. The drums are fast-paced and are there for the support of the keyboards to create an epic atmosphere. The vocals are a different thing though. They're the most interesting thing.The vocalist sings so well. Dryados loves creating melodies at the start of the songs and never repeating them at all. It's a trick to get listeners to listen to tracks over and over. Different mixture of vocals are here as well which spice things up for the listener. The lyrics deserve a mention as well. They're about how corrupt people are these days. They're worth reading.
There is no female vocals nor orchestral vocals. This is a must purchase album to any person who thinks bands like Limbonic Art or Emperor has mastered Symphonic Black Metal - yet again you'll probably avoid it since you know you'll be proven wrong! Romantic Sympho Black Metal for all fans of genre!!
