I can\'t imagine another title than this one we have here, because he describes everything what you hear in this inimitable 42 minutes. The mysterious and dark side of life shows itself off, so clashing cold and desolated. Straying in the sallow shine of the moonlight. Above yourself the cliffy and snow covered mountains are arising majestically.
Dense and natural woods... cliffy rocks that rise into the clear, black night sky as ruins... thick fog that lies above the snow covered earth... silence, crystal clear mountain lakes reflect the lonely fullmoon. Every single word is exactly what I Shalt Become makes me feel with his music. He create unique, profound emotions with ordinary instruments - with playful ease at it seems to me - only a few musicians, even at the early beginning of the 90s, were able of. May it be the melancholy omnipresent basslines that instantly stand out, the icy guitars which create an impenetrable wall in front of the listener, the mostly monotonous but still accented drums or the phantasmal, moanful chants. All this together creates a mystic interaction that, almost in a sudden, makes my blood run cold and rouses a feeling in me, a feeling like yearning, a yearning for the distance.
Creating an intensive atmosphere with such primitive instrumentality, that matters true art to me. Anyhow it is damned difficult to transform the presented soundscape into words. On the one hand they play the mid-tempo parts in a lightly depressed and insubstantial way, on the other hand a crackling icestorm, which invades your soul like thousand acute needles, attends the listener in his own black abyss. This album entrained and captivated myself in such a strong vein. And that\'s the unconscious side effect. By reason of the character repetitive and trance of these tracks, you\'ve got more calm and time to deal with the music in detail. Every single second can be relished.
Black Metal, grim, frosty and primitive.
