What is the future of Metal? Which road will this controversy music genre take? I surely cannot answer, but undoubtedly this VLE project, as well as similar music, is a signal of evolution. Electronic melodies blended with new age sonorities, classical suggestions and a bit of black-doom metal guitar rhythms. I know that these innovations will be considered blaspheme by the most assiduous fans of the genre, but I also think that this will be the natural evolution of Black Metal. The first signals started in 1999, with Burzum's conversion (or betrayal they say) and Hildskjalf, an album in which Varg Vikernes expressed all his anguish an melancholy in a different way from his usual, grim Black Metal. Than also another historical BM group, the band of Nemesis Divina, Satyricon, in 1999 published their EP "Intermezzo II" in which they introduced two tracks that moved fierce critics from the "purists" because they were not strictly BM, but fuse the BM atmospheres with electronic elements and filtered voices.
