Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some clean playing also being utilized at times.
Touches of dsbm are also used quite a bit throughout the recording and the clean sections also add in elements of post metal along with one track also adding in a brief use of whispered vocals, spoken words and clear singing can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, misanthropy and mythological themes.
In my opinion Nietzu are a very great sounding raw and atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hood & Cloak" "The Wire Is Taut" "The Swift Shadow Of The Wyrm" and "Dawn's Creeping Mist". 8 out of 10.
