These kind of releases are the ones I love to find without even asking for them The kind that make me feel obliged to write, to tell the world how good it is, and the ones I love to put over and over again, because I know that I am not wasting my time. I am just spending my life in good songs.

Dark and melodic, is the definition for this album. For sure aggressiveness and harsh moments are along the way, but what impresses me is not the fact that is something that I’ve never heard before, but that with only 3 songs it is worth hearing it, having it and starting to love it.

After three tracks and only fifteen minutes in length, “The White Death” puts you through high and low moments spent with fire. Other ones with coldness and shades, marking the best of doom metal in amazing atmospheres. They mix thrash passages with black metal voices, fast riffs that suddenly turn into low midsections, bass lines always changing, as the song needs it, and drums that are adaptable and strong. Vocals fit for the moment, destroying or slowing the times, giving the final touch to make this releases one of the best in metal for 2014, as far as it goes.

For the final words: Don’t miss it, there’s been a plenty of time without finding something worth of praising. This release would become one of the underground’s most loved moments, giving the intensity, the dark and lost time. Believe me, you’re wasting time reading me and not listening to them… this band deserves to be where one day would be.
