Climatic black/dark metal band with really subtle elements !. This is the rerelease of the "Promo 99" from this killer band and as it says on the booklet, it is not a reflection of the new directions Archaean Harmony is working now. Main charachteristic of this recording: lot of keyboards, playing chord progressions, interludes; excelent guitars (killer melodies through the four tracks, interesting acoustics, excelent solos), played in a really subtle way, emphasizing the atmosphere of the music; some electronic drums that sound a little bit thin in some places but it helps also to generate the "Archaean Harmony sound". This is totally recomendable for fans of original music, elaborated black metal, and fans of atmospheric music too. A must. Favorite tracks: All four.
