Synths start off the album and also adds in elements of ambient and dungeon synth while also returning on some of the later tracks. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and when the music speeds up a lot of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while the album also has its atmospheric moments. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken words.
Throat singing can also be heard briefly and also adds in more of a ritualistic touch when it is introduced as well as one song also adding in a brief use of clean playing. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover fire, blood offerings, Nordic Mythology and esoteric traditions.
In my opinion Vindalf are a very great sounding atmospheric, medieval and raw black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Consecrated By Fire And Blood" "Descending Beyond Ancient Wisdom" "Twilight of The Golden Lineage" and "Sepulchral threshold Of Time". 8 out of 10.
