New album. Everything hand played with real instruments. No triggers, no samples. Recorded, mixed and mastered with reason:

I have never been a fan of the typical production style of classic black metal: guitars with almost nothing in the low frequencies, as well as growl mixed without bass, but that is a matter of taste, my metal background is thrash/death, after all. That said, the album is very well produced, by the aforementioned BM standards. The only thing that annoys me slightly is the level of reverb on the vocals: I'd turn it down a bit, but then again: the catacomb/deconsecrated church effect pays off, so ignore my comments on that! :)

At the level of composition, I appreciated the bass + drums passages that depart from the classic tropes of the genre, giving a breath of freshness (or frostiness, given the genre ;) ). My favourite track is Bring on the Sulphur.

Odličan je EP, bravo!

This is good. I've only listened to the first two tracks. But I will listen to the full album soon when I've got some more time on my hands.

I haven't listened enough to the album to comment on each song. But I did listen through the entire album and I like it.
I somewhat agree with Quarmat regarding the reverb on the vocals. For my own subjective taste I would have gone a bit drier and only used fuller reverb on certain selected occasions. But honestly that's the only thing I'd change.
Nice compositions. Well played and performed. Lots of very interesting and unique harmonies.
I can see myself listening to this again. :thumbs_up:

I think there is enough black metal music to find. We need more the prodigy style stuff. Agree?
