In one word - Summoning-esque. If you like the dark, Tolkien atmosphere of Summoning's Austrian black metal, then either: a) check out Druadan Forest, because it's very similar, or b) don't check out Druadan Forest, because the similarity will piss you off. Of course, DF isn't quite as good as Summoning, but that could be because the production is lacking, which is weird considering Kalma (the only member) only had to mix three things - guitars, vocals, and keys/sequencer. Abuse aside, the simple melodies and atmospheric black metal of this demo isn't all bad because Summoning creates wonderful music and this is similar, but pales in comparison to the original.
