A review by

Mystical Future features five songs, one of which has been garnished with quite an unusual video. The music is mainly mid-tempo based and riff-laden, changing tempo and key here and there while not ruining the main vibe of each song. Harmonies blend in with faster parts, rhythms carry the music through slower parts and many things in-between can be discovered. The most interesting aspects of Mystical Future are the calm song "To Transcend" and the implementation of female vocals on "If You Leave". In general there are no weak songs or fillers on Mystical Future, but a very good level of musicianship and songwriting is maintained throughout the album. A remarkable point about the production is that the drums are focused and direct, while all the other instruments and vocals seem further away or in a big hall. This is of course something one has to get used to, but it definitely fits the mood.
It appears that the main idea behind Wildernessking is the band itself, as it definitely sounds like some guys having fun while jamming some cool vibes. This groovy attitude, paired with the metal character of the music itself is a combination that can hardly be found among black metal bands. While I don't mind "trve" bands at all, it's like breathing fresh air when finding something like this from time to time. Wildernessking don't play something unique or new, but they do it with pleasure and dedication and that's what makes their music good. Mystical Future is therefore a 'lekker' album, recommended to any fan of good music, whether a friend of black metal or not.

A great album indeed. Gets more and more interesting with each listen. Btw, does anyone know who the female vocalist in the last song is?

What a stupid idea to release an album only on vinyl in 2016.

After all, there is a market for that (mostly collectors), as small as it is. However, they should definitely release also a CD version (not talking specifically of this album but for every album released nowadays).
