This is a review of a collaboration between Finland's solo project Absolute Key and Austria's solo project Brånd which shows them moving away from the black metal style of their releases shows them mixing their different style together to create a n experimental mixture of blackened pop and noise and the album will be released on November 27th by Into Endless Chaos Records.
Dark soundscapes and programmed beats start off the album before going into more of an experimental direction while clear singing can also be heard at times. Harsh noises are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length
Heavier parts also mix in with the more experimental side of the album while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in more of a melodic style along with some synths also being used on a couple of tracks.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with each track also sounding very different from each other as well as some of the music also adding in elements of post rock and the whole album sticks to a slower direction, clean playing can also be heard briefly and black metal screams are added towards the end. The production sounds very dark and lo-fi while the lyrics cover Paganism themes..
In my opinion this is a very decent collaboration between Absolute Key and Brånd and if you are a f an of experimental, noise and blackened pop, you should check out this collaboration. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Matalammilla Mailla" and "Land Zafoit. 7 out of 10.
