ISKALD - THE SUN I CARRIED ALONE (2011)

genre : melodic/ progressive black
similar bands : Windir, Dissection, Naglfar, Enslaved, Istapp
origin :Norway
strong spot : songwriting, awesome production
weak spot : nothing too obvious

Iskald once again deliver brilliantly performed modern progressive black metal. Most of these melodic black albums out there suffer from songwriting as the musicians usually have lots of ideas but mess their music up due to the lack of musical knowledge or musical comprehension. Iskald is a different case, they present  tasteful riffs and interesting melodies that prove their skills and their musical.talent. If you liked their previous endeavour, you will definitely like this one too. I need some more time to decide whether the new one is better o not.
