When this tape began I was transported to the darkest of worlds, full of black forests and fog. Dark images came to my mind. "Vo Ime" starts the depression with a lot of guitar melodies that are original for this sort of black metal. In fact I think this is the ingredient that the band has to use always, along with the omniprescent keyboards to set them apart from other bands of the style. The drums are programmed and that gives a strange taste of electronics to the final product, that for me helps the final result (it is better to listen this than a badly mixed drummer doing blast beats).Contact: valkalac@mail.ru
