A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Elements of sludge and doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs along with the vocals being mostly black metal screams and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
A couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. angry shouts can also be heard at times along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing, the album also has its atmospheric and dissonant moments along with a couple of songs also adding in a small amount of clear singing and the whole recording sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Verdun plays a musical style that takes black, sludge and doom metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in mixture of English and French and cover science fiction and metaphysical themes.
In my opinion Verdun are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Funeral of The Cosmic Knight" "Rise of The Atomic Ghouls" and "Les Nocesdu Neant". 8 out of 10.
