Clean playing starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music is very heavily rooted in the old school era.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Spoken words can also be heard briefly along with some synths also being utilized at times as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and one track also adding in a brief use of clear singing.
Ekdritch plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive and heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Fantasy, Mythology and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Eldritch are a very great sounding old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "I Shall Raise My Burning Sword" and "Hearken, Calling Of The Night Sky". 8 out of 10.
