Synths start off the album which also add in elements of dungeon synth and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling and the guitar leads are done in a very melodic style.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Finnish tradition. Spoken words can also be heard on a few tracks along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody as well as the recording also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Clean playing is also added on one of the tracks along with some growls also being utilized at times as well as one song also being an instrumental, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover the writings of H.P Lovecraft.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Eldritch and if you are a fan of old school black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Engulfed By A Horde Of Shadows" "Where The Dead Wait Dreaming" and Cosmicism". 8 out of 10.
