This Russian band have been causing quite a stir, with their brand of epic, Doom laden Black Metal, harking back to the 90's but with a modern sound. Sounding a bit like My Dying Bride and Opeth at times the music is as cold and stark as a Russian winter but has a sombre beauty to it that is very pleasing to the ears.
Only 3 out of the 9 tracks are under 8 minutes and that gives the guys plenty of room to explore the tracks, "Snowfall" is typical of this, 12 and a half minutes long and goes through several changes, almost progressive at times and the simple guitar refrains, coupled with the keyboards keep your attention all of the time.
Other standout tracks include; "Black Swans", "Winter Solstice" and "Last Season Purity". You don’t just listen to this CD you get totally emerged in it, buy and enjoy.
