Psychedelic rock & progressive metal & black metal mixed perfectly!!

How have I just now gotten to this one?

"When All Is Black" sounds like Heroes Del Silencio playing black metal.
And it sounds awesome.

Thumbs up for the band's effort. It's very original despite the fact that it has elements from long forgotten musical genres.

I finally got around to check this out and must say that, while the BM aspect is rather light, it corresponds to the lightheartedness of the whole effort which is what makes it all come together so well.

There are some sections that seem a bit disjointed and "Let your devil..." does feel a bit weak, but this is really catchy and interesting metal.

I don't like this at all

This album just oozes of playful creativity and is so much fun to listen to. It has a very distinct sound that I instantly fell in love with. Much of this is due to the contrast between the consistent, almost creepy, psychedelic undertones and the straight up catchy craziness from time to time.

If I had to complain about something, it would probably have to be that the clean vocals sometimes had a tendancy to annoy me ever so slightly. But at the same time they do have a sense of charm about them which suits the music quite nicely so it is not that big of a deal.

I'm going to give this a ten.Not because it's perfect it's because they deserve it.
Looking forward to their future work.

Kinda this album sounds a bit unfamiliar to me and still don't know how I should vote this one

I imagine this guys vocal work would honestly go well on a soundtrack to some old western film.

I wish Pneuma was longer.I feel unsatisfied when it finishes, just like Murmuüre

Great, but not as great as Oi Magoi.

I strongly disagree. This is better way than OM.

Yes, it is.

This is vastly superior to Oi Magoi for me.

Fine by me. I think it's the other way around.

I know. You already told me on the Oi Magoi MS page.

Yeah, I'm also gonna have to disagree with you there. Oi Magoi is great, but I think it lacks some of the tongue in cheek playfulness that made this one so good. There's nothing quite like "KILL YOUR MOTHER WHILE YOU'RE STILL IN HER WOMB!" or "YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED, YOU KNOW!" on OM

Quite a few people disagreeing with me here it seems... Have spun this one only twice so far, so my opinion on it can still change.

Okay, I'm gonna eat my own boot and say that my opinion on this album has changed. Still not as good as Oi Magoi but I've came to the conclusion that I should give both albums (almost) equal love.

King Crimson plays black metal?

Great album.

It does have a strong King Crimson vibe about it, doesn't it? Never really thought of it in that light before, but now that you mention it that's totally accurate
