The information I have available for this Finnish band are very low, from a cover almost indecipherable because of its darkness, all that is in my hands is contained in the booklet (thin) of the CD, which apart from the text informs us that we are dealing with a trio formed by Jarkko Rintee the vocals, Matti Auerkallio to Janne on drums and synths and guitar Kielinen. So now we start with the analysis of the music of our people since the initial "Anxiety," reveals a sound able to combine to doom sounds horrific traits that mark, which instantly caught my attention: riffone ultra heavy opening drive with demonic voices in the background and a sinister keyboard (to dominate around the track) that seems borrowed from the soundtracks the films of Dario Argento and then all of a sudden a hole in the sky and the rhythms that start in their disturbing and very melodic pace. Scandinavian school pounding riffs fact that it is a pleasure and the growling of Jarkko riposseduto to unleash rivers of fear. With "Contradiction" and his mighty air of mystery, I seem to catch the sound of us, the influences of fellow Gloomy Grim: rhythmic mid-tempos, synthesizers that create dark environments horror, the chilling effect if the final hearing in a dark room, even the excellent chorus 'Walking Contradiction' that is imprinted in my mind and no longer able to remove the feeding our hunger for adrenaline. Continue on the same line with the pompous "Liver Burn Burn" song that continues to highlight the good qualities of the Finnish combo that while not going to try some kind of refined sound, has the merit of producing catchy songs, constantly combining rhythmic black very airy and symphonic interludes interspersed with ambient (see the title track). "In the Depts of Oblivion" the vocals, in a more screaming, yelling at a black belt reminiscent of the symphonic Dimmu Borgir first, which gradually rising in intensity during the song until the epilogue harpsichord. "Equilibrance", sixth track of this intelligent work, a suite is almost twelve minutes long, which once again opens with gloomy melodies and then embark on a mid-tempo reaches its climax in a bridge at one half the song, with melodies full of melancholy that definitely took me back to the early work of My Dying Bride and Anathema, then undoubtedly positive. The final "Observations of Cremation" is a song that serves as the outro to a release certainly positive that allowed me today to discover a new (yet another) reality from only one country, Finland!
