Hailing from Austria, this is another band doing their level best to play in the ancient Norwegian style. The riffs are rather melodic and somber, but the emotion is there, cultivated by the screams of the singer and his powerful throat. They also have some atmospheric moments that let the rest of the music breathe, like the instrumental track "Keys to Astral Dimensions." Of special note is the rhythm section of the band, drums and bass working tightly together, especially as regards the double bass drumming. The bass tone is perfection, rumbling underneath the guitars and really anchoring the band's sound. The cover of the album is laid out like a cassette tape, so I hope there may be some physical format to come sometime soon. I'm a big believer that serious bands need physical products. Until then, we have digital.
