This is the second album by one of the craziest bands in black metal and surely one of the most important too in the modern scene. I always felt fascinated towards the Azaghal way of doing black. Maybe it’s because you cannot label this music only as the common black metal or because they always conserved that spontaneity and rawness this music deserves.
Their style is a mixture of cold, raw guitars parts with thrash and death influences in some riffs, with hyper evil but always so funny, screamed vocals and restless drumming. It’s good to notice some more acoustic parts spread in various songs like in “Han Joka On Tuleval” or Harmagedon” for example. The violence is not the only important thing here. On the other hand we have some frontal assaults like the opener track or the “Lailla Tuhannen Talvimyrskyn”.
The drummer is always on blast beats in these songs and the guitars draw landscapes of pure coldness and ice with different patterns and techniques that can embrace the classic palm muting, the power chords fast shredding or the cold single chords parts. These ones in particular are excellent to break the sound, filling it with colder elements.
The arpeggios are really weird in their sound and seem so cold and artificial. Well, they are real, don’t worry but the clean sound is just strange. Maybe it’s the production or the tune. The production is a bit cleaner than in their debut but it’s always perfect for this genre, with an even more apocalyptic touch in it. The band itself grew in song writing and technique, so we can find more mature and better structured songs like for example “Kun Aurinko Kuoli” or Kohty Auden Aikakauden Alkua”, where we can find some more depressive and sad riffs.
Overall, Azaghal with their second album confirm the beauty of their sound. A sound that is never boring or derivative, but always quite personal. This is a very hard thing to do in a field always full of new bands. Still walking tall.
