Out of Chile comes this Avantgarde Black Metal band that after three demos has released this, their fullength debut. Quite an unusual album, this, I must say. Musically this mostly reminds me of Fleurety, with a touch of eastern European Black Metal, Ophthalamia and Ved Buens Ende... references. Some parts of this album also remind me of the latest Tormentor album, Recipe Ferrum, and earlier Benighted Leams. Very interesting, and extremely good. The music is mostly slow to mid-paced, and has an eerie feel to it, somehow.
The vocals are quite interesting too. There are two vocal tracks on all the songs, one that consists of whispered growls that in some tracks change into screams, and one that is more theatrical that at times change into spoken passages. An excellent idea. Interestingly enough the track "U 513 A"
has the lyrics sung backwards.
The soundquality is slightly muffled, but this works great with the mood in the music. The vocals and the guitars can clearly be heard in the front of the mix, pushing the music forward. Of the eleven tracks here the shortest one, apart from the outro, is six minutes long with the others being between seven and nine minutes.
Standout tracks are "The End in Your Eyes", "U 513 A" and "The End of Your Light".
