Very solid melodic black metal.
Atmospheric, evil, eerie, grim and varied, it has it all.

Canadian bias maybe? Nah, it's a sure shot. no one can hate this dark beauty.

Verdict : BUY

If These Trees Could Talk - Red Forest[2012]

1rst impression: Is this Agalloch?!
No, it's not, but in spirit, it's pretty much the same. No vocals, but they're not missed.
Instantly, I'm a fan, I need their other albums.
This is the kind of music they put in the snowboard or mountain bike "money shots", with scenic views and incredible cascades, this is the uplifting sonate needed to convey the grandeur.
Long and epic, never boring, if you're in the mood for atmospheric, that is.

Verdict: BUY
