Field recordings start off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Atmospheric sounding synths are also utilized at times along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and both clean playing and acoustic guitars are also added into certain sections of the recording..
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. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal s creams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre and clear vocals are also used at times.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and spoken words can also be heard at times as well as a couple of tracks also being instrumentals, one song also adds clear singing into the background and as the recording progresses folk instruments are also introduced. the production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Slovakian and cover the ancient legends and mysterious history of their homeland.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Krolok and if you are a fan of a tmospheric and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hričov" and "Lietava". 8 out of 10.
