Black Autumn - The Advent October CD

Ambient Black/Doom Metal

For those who don't know, Black  Autumn were born in 1995 as a two-member band and by then they were  influenced by bands like Emperor and Satyricon. Today, there is only one member remaining, M. Krall, and the band plays Doom, Ambient Black Metal.

The MCD is composed by 4 tracks, all of them very melodic and consistent. Artwork cover shows us desolated greyish woods and skies. The whole work is the perfect soundtrack for a solitary travel in the Autumn rain and cold. All the  songs are very musical and have very well achieved melancholy and solitude expressions, it is a masterpiece. First track The Advent October is very slow and melodic and matches the atmospheric sounds with acoustic sounds. It's very peaceful for two minutes, before it develops  into a very sad and strong melody where voice takes part too. Second and third tracks follow the same line. Last track A Silver Line of Light is maybe the most remarkable one. Starting with a piano interlude, then little by little all the other elements are introduced in there until it becomes a very powerful song. If you expect melancholic strong and powerful songs you will like this MCD for sure. It's very pleasant and enjoyable, not trivial. Voice is just perfect, no other voice would  match better with this songs.
