Stained Blood - Nyctosphere

“Avfall,” comes with the waves, the droning on in the background and the sound of the choir, creates a haunting edge. When the music truly kicks in, it brings some serious edge to proceedings. “Century to Suffer,” continues the hard work, delivering a thunderous and rapturous movement. “The Lightless Walk,” is another song that delivers on big and grandiose ideas.

“Shrines of Loss,” veers one way and then another. Not quite delivering, but always hinting at something more within the wood work. “Winterflesh,” is a clarion call to the dead and the monsters lurking underneath. “Drowned,” sheers and shines.

The album is out on March 22nd.
