Raw tremolo picking starts off the album which also takes the music into a faster direction while also introducing blast beats into the music. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era of the genre and the riffs alsi add in a lot of melody.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the synths also give the music more of an atmospheric feeling when they are utilized. When guitar solos and leads are added onto the recording they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style, a couple of tracks are also instrumentals with one that adds in a brief use of clean playing and clear singing is also introduced on a later track
On this recording Odious Devotion brings out a very raw, old school and atmospheric style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Finnish and English and cover Darkness and Nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Odious Devotion and if you are a fan of atmospheric, raw and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "the Endless Passing Of The Cyclic End" and "The Cosmic Darkness And Heavenly Wisdom". 8 out of 10.
