An artist can come from anywhere in the world. It has been always like this, and this time it is of no exception, is more like the fulfilment of the rule. Ukraine gave birth to this band that even if they might not have anything new, clearly with the use of what has been written in the Doom Metal stream, they made a good use of their talent to compose this album.

EMBRACE OF SILENCE sounds very common for a Doom band, is the extent of the constant mark of darkness and despair that has been drawn along the years. I'll make a statement here: this album is only for fans of this genre (like I am), in other case avoid it, because you'll find yourself sleeping and trying to kill yourself.

As for the music, this is very ingrained in the roots of Doom Metal, slow rhythms that take you to a journey through the dark, acoustic segments that fill very well the long minutes of each track, slow solos with a shade atmosphere that could make you numb, and that's just the beginning.

In the composition you could easily note the great talent among these guys, although they are prolonging a cliché, this is not an easy cliché. If I may say, this is one of the hardest to keep, but this release has managed to remind me guitar tones of CANDLEMASS, mixed with some voices good mixes of voices, keeping the spirit of darkness alive, good drums, and a bass listenable, that's something very good in these genres.

It is a good release to begin, even when these genres are not as popular as others, they deserve a lot of credit in making such a good album for ears that could only appreciate it in its pure form, having the 90s touch of Doom.

These kinds of releases reminds me a very dark age of my life, maybe that's why I like it so much, It's always a pleasure for me to have this on my library, because even when the moments are happy, is very helpful for me to remind who I am, in order to keep a good way of life, even if it's dark.
