Ekklesiast comes from Russia and "Cold" is their latest release. It is three years old but believe me you will be surprised by the music from these guys. First of all you will hear that some of the songs are in their mother language and this is a magic feeling at least in my ears.

For sure the first time that you hear the band sing in their mother language it will be a little bit strange, but when the music starts to flow then you will adore it. Also i believe that it could be easier in order to understand the whole concept to have the English translation in the booklet. Anyway, the album begins with a very melodic, melancholic slow track, with male and some female vocals.

As we will continue to hear the album from Ekklesiast the band seems to have influences from My Dying Bride and Katatonia. Also their compositions are well worked, with some interesting ideas. I have the idea, that if we had a more massive and heavy production then the final result would be almost excellent. Maybe in their next step they will be more focus in all the sections in order to have a better result.
