The mystical sounds of Greek black metal come from a romanticism of the night as expressed to free spirits, and so this metal is atmospheric like nighttime sounds with plenty of space and a distant fuzziness to all instruments and the almost-whispered vocals. Its building of adventures nothingness in three opening notes, and its awareness of zero in the spacing of its tempos and riff architectures, allows it to open through the mind of the listener a channel to existential joy and excitement in life. Sounds big, but it's true - for the second part of this recording. The first is also really well done youthful death metal in a partially American style, sometimes reminiscent of Death, Possessed, or Therion.
