Entry 249 - Kalmankantaja - Bones and Dust

 

This entire album seems to be a tribute to one of my favorite black metal songs ever written: Det som en gang var. The atmosphere, the synths, the riffs, even the vocals... all could be lifted straight off of that song.

I love every single moment of this record, there isn't a single wasted moment. The synths tho... the synths are what drive the album to the next level. They have that cold, lonely feel that is so prevalent in Burzum's song. It's perfection.

I can't speak highly enough of this record, it hits all the right notes for me. I don't care that its a blatant rip off of an old song. It takes the concepts written within Det som en gang var and expands them into an entire album. I've heard stuff like this done before, but never as well as it's been executed here. Amazing.
