Product Description
It has now been nearly a decade since the mysterious and prolific character Vindsval (Blut Aus Nord, Children of Maani, The Eye) began lurking in the French extreme metal underground scene with his haunting works. Set aside Children of Maani, which disclosed his interest for oriental-sounding tonalities, both his other projects, The Eye and Blut Aus Nord, have always been a scarcely concealed tribute to Grishnack's songwriting and the "truest" slants of the black metal genre's ideals. After a lengthy pause, Vindsval is now back with a third Blut Aus Nord album which, to gather it in a nutshell, should satisfy his existing fans, yet will also predictably fail to earn him any new ones. The chilling, spectral tonalities of Blut Aus Nord's previous releases, "Ultima Thule" and "Memoria Vetusta I", still pervade this act of self-acclaimed "Undaground Musical Terrorism", with what feels like more emphasis on the characteristic icy feel, less bombastic keyboard effects and more streamlined, stripped-down song structures -- bleakness indeed. Alas, despite the chilling atmosphere that this third release irradiates, the traditional linearity inherent to Vindsval's works soon becomes as wearing as the constant 4/4 drum machine battering this album never seems to part ways with; hence, although some tracks stand out as fine examples indeed of haunting black metal anthems (as the track "Chapter 4: The Fall"), most of the material on this album soon fades into a blurred shroud of uneventful musical nothingness.

Album Details

After a Lengthy Pause, Vindsval is Now Back with a Third Blut Aus Nord Album Which, to Gather it in a Nutshell, Should Satisfy his Existing Fans, Yet Will also Predictably Fail to Earn Him Any New Ones. The Chilling, Spectral Tonalities of Blut Aus Nord's Previous Releases, "Ultima Thule" and "Memoria Vetusta I", Still Pervade this Act of Self-acclaimed "Undaground Musical Terrorism", with What Feels Like More Emphasis on the Characteristic Icy Feel, Less Bombastic Keyboard Effects and More Streamlined, Stripped-down Song Structures -- Bleakness Indeed. Alas, Despite the Chilling Atmosphere that this Third Release Irradiates, the Traditional Linearity Inherent to Vindsval's Works Soon Becomes as Wearing as the Constant 4/4 Drum Machine Battering this Album Never Seems to Part Ways With; Hence, Although Some Tracks Stand Out as Fine Examples Indeed of Haunting Black Metal Anthems (As the Track "Chapter 4: The Fall"), Most of the Material on this Album Soon Fades Into a Blurred Shroud.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Another sick release of decadent French black metal.......2006-02-12

Blut aus Nord found their style with this album. The wailing guitars, agonizing dissonant leads, and mechanical drum beats started here. Before this, Blut aus Nord played a typical black metal style that, quite frankly, didn't stand out very well. They went from playing melodic, ethereal black metal to playing something Marquis de Sade would thoroughly enjoy.

This is music for people who want bleak, nihilistic black metal.

4 out of 5 stars awesome album if you are a fan of black metal...........2006-01-24

if your not a fan of black metal, then i highly suggest that you do not bother with this album. although if you are familiar with black metal, and find the chilling atmospheres and haunting feelings that one can get from listening to this stuff during night when there is dead silence and no other distractions, then you will most likely really enjoy this album. Although I really enjoy black metal and Blut Aus Nord in particular, I can never really listen to this band during the day driving somewhere, or doing homework, or whatever may be that i am doing at the time. To really enjoy this album, you need to be in a setting where you can feel its full effects like late at night in a slightly candle lit room.

On another note, if you have not heard Blut Aus Nord yet, i suggest that you get "The Work Which Transforms God", its a much better album, and very interesting and original in my opinion.
