Spoken word samples which return on later tracks start off the ep before going into a heavier direction while the vocals are depressive black metal screams. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Synths can also be heard briefly along with the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when t hey are utilized and the music brings in a very modern approach to the genre.
On this recording Serpentum continues to expand on the modern, misanthropic and depressive style of black metal that they introduced on their previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Depression. Mianthropy, Occultism and Satanism themes.
In my opinion this is an other great sounding recording from Serpentum and if you are a fan of misanthropic and depressive black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Burial mask of A Dying God" and "Exile". 8 out of 10.
