From Bandcamp, "The newest album by FATHOMAGE, "Autumn's Dawn, Winter's Darkness" soars to new atmospheric and ambitious heights in taking the listener to a place of tranquility, natural beauty, solitude, and silence. The album finds its roots in Atmospheric Black Metal and breaks new ground in the genre. The listener will find that the album paints the majestic landscapes of towering mountains, moss-covered pathways, and vast forests. "Autumn's Dawn, Winter's Darkness" hearkens one to a place of seclusion, away from the fallen modern world and back into the untainted wonder of nature. The album has eight songs.

The title track is the first. It eases in, with light symphonic elements, and a scream leads to the main sound. The sound is rich and full, accompanied by a wall of guitars, and drums galloping forth. Somber tones abound, but just before the half-way mark, the song turns darker, and angry tones take over. It continues this way through the end. "A Dawnfire of Old" begins with solemn tones, and some guitar power. The riffs are majestic, while the background is full of all sorts of different sounds. It swells a few times, and ducks during others. This is the solitude the band talks about in the beginning.

"The Majesty and Beauty of a Fallen World" opens with a more traditional Black Metal sound, although somber tones dominate the landscape. It begins to pick up, with raucous energy and cymbal crashes. The drums roll in quad time, and there are more elements than you can count. "In the Twilight of the Night" is a short, four-minute song that features clean guitars and depressive tones. I picture a man sitting in the darkness, looking at the stars, and totally content in the silence. "Vales of Darkness" comes roaring out of the gates with thick Black Metal vocals and a constant hum from the guitars. The strings in the mid-section are gorgeous, and what comes next is so very dark, it could consume your soul.

"Light of the Eternal Dawn" comes at you like a rocket launcher, with heavy, gas powered guitars and angry vocals. A fire burns, and gets hotter and more expensive, until it is everywhere you look. It rages intensely, burning your eyes, and your skin melts away. "Woodland Songs of the Aspen Forest" is another short offering of clean guitars, with birds chirping gleefully in the background. Let this solemn sound ride out because it is simply beautiful. The lengthy "We Wept Under the Moonlight Shadow" closes the album; a near-15-minute opus. It encompasses all that they album has to offer...majestic tones, angry outbursts, depressive episodes, and the raw power of Black Metal. This album has it all...raging Black Metal, gorgeous elements of bliss, and enough depression to fill your empty heart. It is so beautiful at times that it nearly moves the listener to tears.
