It's always hard to be objective when you write a review. And it's even harder when you write a review of your favourite band's album and the one that got you acquainted with that band. But I'll try nevertheless and we'll see what happens. Planeshift is a second album of the not-too-well-known Russian band Rakoth and it's the album that got them some good reviews and attention of the connoisseurs of unorthodox metal a decade ago (how fast time flies!). Musically its roots lay in the black metal soil but the tree that grows from there is quite splendid. With mostly fantasy-inspired lyrics it's a given that there are some beautiful medieval melodies present which are delivered by Rustam's airy keyboards and P. Noir's affecting flute. Some of the songs on this album also carry more doomish feeling (such as "Og'elend" or, more evidently, "The Unquiet Grave") while the title track portrays the state of absolute mind liberation with relentless riffs and omnipresent keyboards.
