Árstíðir lífsins - Jîtunheima Dolgferð' (2010)


genre : folk / depressive black metal
similar bands : Windir, Agalloch, Gris, Solstafir
origin : Iceland
strong spot : folk /dark atmosphere
weak spot : too simple some times

I usually find bands that play this kind of depressive and slow black metal really boring. Most of them use the same recipe: a bunch of minor chords thrown randomly in the music, awful production and black metal image. This band has all these ingredients but their music is more sophisticated than the average band of this genre. I mostly enjoyed the atmosphere of their music.
