Nature sounds and keyboards start off the album which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Clean playing can also be heard briefly while the great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
The album also has its atmospheric moments while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling along with the album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced ad fast parts as well as one track also bringing in a brief use of acoustic guitars, spoken words can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the vast solitude of forgotten landscapes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nordicwinter and if you are a fan of atmospheric and depr4essive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Elegy For The Sun" and "Bemeath Frozen Skies". 8 out of 10.
