This second full length from Ergot comes a full ten years after their last effort. It's slower, melodic black metal with soaring melodies and epic structures. The songs are longer, clocking in at five minutes or more with the exception of an interlude. The lyrics appear to be in all Italian as far as I can tell, and I can't offer any information as to what some of the songs are about, but it sounds cool as fuck. The guitar solos weep over top the main riffs in every song, bringing a morose feel. It's not depressive by any means, but it's full of emotion. This is also creepy in ways only black metal can manage with haunting chords and disdainful melody. However, it all sort of blends together for me after a while with no real speed to add intensity, but I'll put that down to my preferences in black metal. It's not a problem if you're looking for this style, I'm just not.
