The beginning of this album shows off how dark and cryptic this music is. From the keys to the drums guitars and bass you can find a whirlwind of sounds that slowly begging to wrap its arms around you in its darkest embrace. For years I have followed Upon Shadows and their sounds are ever evolving bringing a unique feel to each and every track that is thrown at you. Depressive and melancholy found here mixed in within a tunnel of cold, and dark rainy nights. For fans of Abigor, Aborym and Rotting Christ the latest album really gets tighter on each track with solid performances from their respective band members Tamara and Natalia. With support by Mika Pohjla on mixing and mastering and session drums by Joonas Alaraiha. All done at Soundmix studio in Oulu, Finland. These guys collaborate very well bringing out the best in each other throughout this process. In the last 20 years of Upon Shadows dark metal as grandiosity is displayed for the forefront of genre they fall under. I have to say my favorite track is Terra Avstralis Ignota. It is creepy and reminds me of entering a black hole discovering alien life for the first time. Do yourself a favor and get some merch while you’re at it too. It is highly recommended that you do. In rebellion we grow! No support to the unique thought! Check them out!
