Then again, I can't complain to badly about an album that is in most regards a success, so take from it what you will. In some ways, Avsky remind me of the old school black metal sound. I can see them getting a few comparisons to the old style of Darkthrone, though I actually prefer this to the Darkthrone style of old.
There is certainly that raw edge that many of the old school bands had as their main driving force. The guitar work is superb. Repetition is a technique often associated with black metal bands, especially of old, but this is where the Avsky divide of their old and new sound is clear. The guitars, whilst encompassing that old school heavy sound, have a slight modern day twist to them.
There is a lot more expression in terms of guitar work used on this record than a lot of black metal bands used. When it comes to bridging the gap between the old and new sounds, Avsky have hit the nail on the head with this effort. The effects are what makes the guitars so appealing. The old school style of producing heavy sounding riffs, one after the other, is blended in with the more modern day work of adding effects to the riffs.
The production is absolutely perfect for the audience because it allows the guitars to showcase the raw talent behind the scenes, as well as allowing Avsky to make headway in other departments too. The work on the drums here is superb. This slower paced black metal is the perfect solution for the bass used on the record too. Generally keeping the album to a slower speed means that the bass can play a significant role in enhancing the guitar work, which is brilliant anyway.
Whilst the vocals may not be as good as the rest of the work poured into the album, they are adequate. The lyrics that go with them are perfect, to be honest. The hate filled rasps, which occasionally differ, sing with passion and pride about the most negative aspects of life. Recommended for fans of old Darkthrone and the more recent Italian band Murk.
