One of the longest demos by this project clockin over 90 mins (80 mins on the CD version). It's with this demo that you can clearly listen to the man behind Darkspace. To think that Darkspace had not even released their -I Demo haha. The synths are quite dominant in certain sections and the echoing shrieks are higher in the mix compared to the first couple of demos. I must say I love the odd use of flute and acoustic passages here and there. Gives this demo a more defined personality in comparison to the other ones (just like the s/t demo did with the violin). I can see how the length would make people stay away from this one but this is some of the better kind of ambient black metal you can find when you want background music while doing something else.

This has to be the best demo of all time, certainly in regards to it being masterminded by only one man. Incredible suffocating wintery atmosphere, like trying to battle with a ferocious unforgiving blizzard with 100mph winds and Sub-Zero temperatures. The short gentle ambient interludes giving you a glimpse of comfort amidst the raging storm before it simply hits back at you with vengeance. It's incredibly long and structurally repetitive but when listening at the right time or environment it's a truly unforgettable experience nonetheless.
