If i am not mistaken, i had review their latest demo from Argath, the new black metal act from Finland. Now the guys come back with their debut album through Grey Inertia Productions. Because i receive only the cd-r promo copy, i don't have any clue for the final artwork. So i will write only for the music which is as you can read above in the black metal paths, but in a more majestic atmosphere. You can hear a lot of influences from Limbonic Art, Emperor and old Septic Flesh. The keyboards as always give another atmosphere in the whole album and the production is moody like the weather in Finland. I think Argath transfer excellent the atmosphere from their country and from the black metal to their album. The songs are mid tempo and the black metal vocals aren't so extreme. All in all i can say that i adore the time that i spent in order to hear this album but because i prefer more melodic tunes in the black metal side. But for sure a lot of fans of the black metal music will adore the stuff from Argath. Soon or later you will see them in a bigger label.
