Ambient style synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. The recording also has its atmospheric moments while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while blast beats can also be heard briefly when the album speeds up on a couple of tracks. A lot of the music also adds a minimalist approach to the genre, when tremolo picking is added into the fast riffs they also give the recording more of a raw feeling and the songs stick to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
On this recording Skuggor continues to expand on the atmospheric style of ambient black metal that he has introduced on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Skuggor and if you are a fan of ambient and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'The Expanse" and "The Nothing". 8 out of 10.
