A very distorted drone orientated intro 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. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while some of the music also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style, one track is an instrumental and also adds in brief use of synths and rain and thunder sounds before returning back to a heavier direction, piano's, choirs and spoken word smaples are also added towards the end.
On this recording Örastimar takes their style of raw black metal into a different direction as well as getting more aggressive at the same time. The production sounds very dark, raw and lo-fi while the lyrics are written in German and cover misanthropy, hatred and anti society themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Örastimar and if you are a fan of raw black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Staubhallen" and "Gottesvieh". 8 out of 10.
