Decipher released a sublime album in 'Arcane Paths to Resurrection" which was steely and composed, enriched with melodic undertones It was the timeless kind of black metal that was largely inspired by the black metal bands and yet didn't sound too dated. Two years later, the Greeks return with a new opus, elaborating on the music forged on that album, adding better nuance and structure to the songs whilst retaining the sound and appeal. Allowed better expression, the songs are comparatively longer and have a narrative quality to them without straying too far from the core sound. The riffs are renched in emotions without being overtly melodic as the music marches ahead resolutely with its steely demeanour. This is the kind of black metal that gets its priorities straight - with the right focus on riffs, feeling, intensity, and passion. Show more
