Is this whole "blackgaze" thing running out of hand? Some people seem to think so. Some people seem to think that there are only two or three blackgaze-bands and a vast number of copycats. Personally, I don't really care about that kind of elitism. I'm a fan of whatever sounds good, even if I'm constantly reminded of other acts. To be frank, the whole blackgaze scene has been a massive throwback into either black metal or shoegaze, so, elitists, this whole scene isn't new so stop whining about it.

Anyway, the fact that it's nothing new, doesn't mean that it's garbage. This trio from Stavanger, Norway is a great example of how young musicians can still make a decent impact on any scene. With this debut ep, they carefully present themselves as one of the possible heirs to the throne in the blackened regions of the metal scene. A full-length is in the making, so this is merely a teaser, or a pleaser, because it is a damn good piece of work.

Two songs, ranging from atmospheric and cinematic pieces of metal to fierce and relentless black metal outbursts, that's what you get here. Both tracks are massive and well-varied songs, played with severe intensity and dressed in a pitch black atmosphere. So what else could a blackgaze fun possible want? Besides, I've actually never heard a blackgaze band breathe the vintage Scandinavian black metal air so well as these guys do. So yeah, you have to check it out if you're into bands like Alcest, Lantlos or any of those blackgazing hordes, and you have to do it now...
