Oh, my, I felt almost like reading a review by Rozz. Good job!
"The goal of the music is to crush the listener with a feeling of inescapable anguish, and that is precisely where this album succeeds."
I definitely felt this while listening. |

Probably the greatest compliment I've ever received on this site.
And I'm glad to hear you felt the weight of this release. I know atmosphere is an incredibly subjective thing, so while some people might feel the same about its enveloping factor, others might just think of it as boring because you can't tell the songs apart.  |

Music can do different things to people... I was in a good humor and pretty much smiling the whole time, a pleasant, beautiful and quite peaceful listening indeed. |

I always try to figure out the intended mood, so I try listening to releases in different times of the day and surroundings, and different companies too. Nerd. |

A lot of cds change their atmosphere or make it more strong if you change the environment.
This album has too much melody and light sound for me to feel some kind of anguish. It's too nice |

I'm sure the holy days have a great deal of influence on this.
In regards to both our opinions.  |

Hhahahhahaha that could be a good point. Let's see how this album would sound like after a few weeks after going back to Uni. |

Dunno, I get more negative emotions from "nice" stuff than the other stuff. If you tell me I'm looking at a horror film, I'll just laugh at the bloodspill. If I watch a normal movie and come across a negative feeling-laden situation, I won't be able to watch for a couple of seconds. |

Likewise.
And the opposite is true for me too. I feel more positive when listening to or watching more "negative" things. |

True for my circle of friends. We always play Sentenced at gatherings. Well, Sentenced is pretty sadness-lite for most metalheads, but since we like them, there's always a sense of negativity coming from the unfortunate death of Miika Tenkula. But it still makes a great party atmosphere for us. And most people, when they are present at some of our gatherings, don't get how can we have fun "while playing something so depressive". "We just can" is always the answer  |

I dunno... when I go for negativity. I'll go deep on extreme doom so Sentenced would be faaaaar away from depressive. Not even extreme doom makes me gloomy. I'm just inmune to that nowdays. "Nice music" just makes me feel good.
Music can't make me feel bad nowdays because I use music as an escape, so I'm going to feel better by default. |

That's what I said, they're mostly sadness-lite for metalheads, but still people can't figure out how come we listen to "that depressing shit" while we're having fun. |

I remember hearing Les hivers de notre époque by these guys.
The entire album was pretty much the same melody repeated over and over again, only with a different background tempo each time. Still, I was fairly satisfied, it had that epic yet tragic atmosphere going on that I loved.
Will be giving this a fair chance. |

Wait, what? How in the...
Never mind. After careful consideration, I've decided I really don't want to know.
Checked it myself, and yeah, pretty solid piece of atmospheric BM. Not a 8.5 by any stretch in my book, but Troy is just weird like that. |

Nothing weird, wanted to listen to something I usually don't so I asked the person with the taste most opposite of mine to give me a nice list to go through |

The only reason I'd wanna live in Quebec is for the local BM scene.
Hopefully my next review doesn't seem so... copied. |

Haha! Don't worry about it. As I said this still has The Killjoy's touch. So iit feels more inspired then copied. It doesn't look like a Rozz revivalist review just yet. |

| Oh, my. It seems I've been listening to too much black metal albums lately... And it's all your fault, Troy, for writing such tempting reviews. |

Glad to hear it. No such thing as too much black metal. |
