A very dark yet distorted sound starts off the album while acoustic guitars can also be heard in the background briefly. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats are also utilized which also gives the album more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic European style. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them along with one track also adding in a brief use of clean playing and as the album progresses acoustic guitars also make a brief return on an instrumental before returning back to a heavier direction on the remaining songs. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Satanism, Blasphemy and Anti Humanity themes.
In my opinion Zwielicht are a very great sounding satanic and misanthropic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Through Blood And Ashes" and "With Lovre From Sinister". 8 out of 1 0.
