EPITIMIA
'Faces Of Insanity'
(Hypnotic Dirge Records)
From
the first song of this album you cannot be sure of what you will
hear: depressive black, ambient black or just an experiment of the three
members in a more post-rock sound? What's certain is that you are
going to hear a dark innovative album, completely different from any
other band in the ambient black metal scene, ideal for those who want
to experiment with new sounds. Depression and melancholy is pervasive
throughout the whole album, which is enhanced from the almost
theatrical low screaming vocals in ‘Reminiscentia’ or the more
pure black vocals in ‘Epikrisis I’ and ‘Epikrisis III’. The
post-rock influences of the band are evident in ‘Epikrisis III
– Megalomania’. ‘DS: Schizophrenia’ incorporates all the
elements of the Epitimia’s
style, which is definitely much more sophisticated and experimental
than the two previous works of the
band. This atmospheric / ambient
black metal band from St. Petersburg, Russia does not stop to
surprise us, giving a new meaning in ambient black and makes us
wonder what is left to hear in its future work.
