It is one thing to create a work which mimics the landscape of another,to paint with colors in hopes of capturing the essence of that which already exists, but then there are those artists who paint with an essence not of this realm. In other words, the abstraction which is birthed invokes a magick through its transmission, and instead of resembling something upon this mortal coil, the mind is now taken to a different realm.
‘Eternal Winte’r by Insanity Storm conjures forth the mysticism lurking within the resonance of Melodic Black Metal to sculpt a jewel that bewitches the senses. Though its shape is similar to such bands as Old Man’s Child and the early era of Dimmu Borgir, the spirit of ‘Eternal Winter’ carries with it an authentic and earnest expression through which the ambience flows.
Atmosphere becomes the very ichor pulsating through the veins of this creation, an essence that evokes unto the sensation an entrancing quality, for it is like the smoke that curls above the flame, filling the nostrils, possessing and transforming the mind. Through these tracks, Eternal Winter hones the magick of Melodic Black Metal, carving their own sigils into this rich legacy, for what is crafted, pays naught just homage to a sound and ethos, but rather reinforces the aural and macabre experience that one can uncover when the consciousness surrenders itself to such energies. The transmission expelled from both the strings and percussion inflict a rather brumal tone to its playing, clutching the mind, in turn sculpting an intimate atmosphere. The very shape that the instrumental architecture contorts itself evokes a fluid motion to each note, for instance both tracks, ‘Eternal Winter’ and ‘Let Me In’ utilizes a sharp, thin tone, but the frenetic motion of the guitars utilizes this in way to bleed forth an organic yet raw delivery. In the same breath, the vocals feed upon the essence of the instruments transcending the energy, giving unto it a different shape and motion.
Insanity Storm dispels a heimal magick transmuting arcane sound into a frozen aural landscape wherein the mind traverses its architecture to uncover a gripping experience etched within these melodies.
