Medieval style synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the music also has its atmospheric moments and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Touches of folk music can also be heard at times while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats are also utilized which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling along with the album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Witches Moon plays a musical style that takes an atmospheric and melodic form of black metal and mixes it with medieval and folk music elements to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover nature, death, witchcraft, esoteric and occult themes.
In my opinion Witches Moon where a very great sounding folk inspired, atmospheric, medieval and melodic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Gatekeeper" and "Dance With Lightning". 8 out of 10.
