Water orientated soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier direction while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can b e heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the music is very heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, synths and spoken words can also be heard briefly and acoustic gutiars are added on the closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Flemish and cover ancient, seas, rain and floods and the ever-evolving meanders of the Deemer.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Oerheks and if you are a fan of atmospheric, old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Veranderende Demermeanders". 8 out of 10.
