A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while synths are also utilized at times and add in touches of ambient along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era of the genre. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the guitar leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style when they are utilized and the music also has its atmospheric moments.
Blackness plays a style of occult black metal that is very heavily rooted in the 90's era of the genre. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Western Occultism, Hermetic Philosophy, Alchemy and Qabalah themes.
In my opinion Blackness are a very great sounding occult black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Vitriol" "Nigredo" and "Crossing The Abyss". 8/5 out of 10.
