This is a review of another recording from Book Of Sand with the musical style being experimental black metal mixed with folk music with the ep being called "The Bees And The Butterflies" which was released in 2011 by Mouthbreather.
"Now The Green Blade Arises" begins with some violins and then the primitive black metal guitar riffs, drums, synths and depressive screams start kicking in along with some epic and atmospheric elements being thrown in.
"Black Is The Color" begins with some violins before the fast, raw and primitive sounding black metal guitar riffs kick in along with some drums, synths and high pitched screams while also keeping around the violins.
"Young Girl Cut Down In Her Prime" begins with some violins before some slow and heavy guitar riffs, high pitched depressive screams, drums and synths start kicking in and the song closes with some experimental noise sounds.
"All The Pretty Horses" begins with some violins before the fast, raw and primitive sounding black metal guitar riffs, drums and high pitched screams kick in along with some synths that bring in more folk music elements.
"Wayfaring Stranger" begins with some violins and the song is an all instrumental folk cover song.
"Arran Boat Song" begins with some violins before the heavy guitar riffs, drums and synths start kicking in and there are no vocals present on this song with the music being all instrumental.
Song lyrics cover American Folklore themes, while the production has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Book Of Sand and if you are a fan of experimental black metal mixed with folk music, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Now The Green Blade Arises" and "All The Pretty Horses". RECOMMENDED BUY.
