Rain and thunder starts off the album along with some symphonic elements which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the music is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era of the genre. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length , spoken words can also be heard at times.
The album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the riffs also bringing in a great amount of melody and one song also adds in a brief use of clean playing as well as some tracks also mixing in some ritualistic atmospheres, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are a concept album and cover darkness themes.
In my opinion Obscura Domini are a very great sounding atmospheric, symphonic and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Forgotten Talisman Of Corrupted Shadows" and "Tomb of Ashes". 8 out of 10.
