Synths start off the album along with some melodic guitar solos and leads a few seconds later which also takes the music into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing and the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are done in more of an angry black metal style while the album also brings in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the modern era of the genre with some old school aggression along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars and clean playing, high pitched screams can also be heard at times and spoken words are also added on the closing track.
On this recording Servant brings out a very modern, melodic, aggressive and traditional form of black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover occult, mythological. philosophical and dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Servant and if you are a fan of melodic and aggressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Tabula Rasa" "De Profundis" and "Hypnos I See You". 8 out of 10.
