Less black metal on this one, but it is still metallic gothic. There are piles of those (IMO, annoying) whiny gothic vocals that are sometimes employed by gothic doom metal bands (MDB, Anathema). Rough vocals are still present, and the two styles seem to be evenly represented. These songs are less dark than their debut EP, but compositions are still original and well-written. I must say that their EP might appeal to fans of black metal, but this one, I believe, might be a bit too gothic for most . . for me, its those damn vocals . .
