A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while keyboards can also be heard at times and clear singing is also added in certain sections of the recording. Harsh vocals are mostly black metal screams mixed in with some death metal growls along with the solos and leads also adding in a lot of melody.
Folk instruments are also utilized at times while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard along with one track also adding in a brief use of female vocals, some of the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, acoustic guitars are also introduced on an instrumental.
On this recording Wooden Shadow continues the melodic mixture of black, death and folk metal that he has introduced on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics nature and the darkness of the human mind.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Wooden Shadow and if you are a fan of melodic black, death and folk metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Dawn" "Blackened Roses Fall" "Shadowdance" and "Breath On Backwinter". 8 out of 10.
