Symphonic sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Clean playing is also used at times along with elements of death metal also being utilized quite a bit throughout the album and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard
Spoken words can also be heard on a couple of songs along with some of the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the music also adding a more modern approach to the genre. The production sounds very professional while t he lyrics are a concept album based upon a horror story which takes place in Helmbrook with some references to the occult.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Bryan Eckermann and if you are a fan of melodic and symphonic black and death emtal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "10 Years" "Apparitions In The Attic" "The Spirit World" and "Tragic Endings". 8 out of 10.
