Melodic death masterpiece. |

Out of Falun, Sweden comes a very original melodic death metal band that mixes doom metal goodness into their sound in a very natural and subtle way.
10 years have passed since I first heard this impressive debut and I gotta recognize making my personal playlist for an entire decade is quite a feat.
The album starts with a strong doom riff with an excellent amount of distorsion to sound both heavy and yet very clearly. Then the title track evolves into a mid-pace song that resembles melodic elements but you simply can't say you've heard it before. This is what impresses me more about the album, the original sound these men created. It grabs your attention. The guitar tone, the drums, the vocals, even the occasional bass line melody during quiet parts. The instruments are tuned to D# which gives it a natural dark flavor without being too low in frequencies.
The second track is a much faster paced one with thrash elements, letting you know this is the other spectrum of the record. It's the mix between aggression and melancholy what pieces all together.
Every single melodic line is memorable and will stick in your mind for months. There are no weak tracks in here. Look at the reviews on Metal Archives, it's almost a perfect debut album full of heart.
I'd recommend this to fans of Opeth, Insomnium, Dark Tranquililty, etc
