Another semi-quasi-black metal band has taken all the "black" out of their music in favor of a relatively fresh and trendy, dare I say, "hipster" sound. Markus Siegenhort, aka Herbst, has fancied his band Lantlôs to contemporary and utopian heights. Provocative and emotive, Lantlôs show every sign of picking up the pieces after their surprising but drama-free divorce from Neige. Wanting to move on, there is no post-Neige hangover here, thank you very much.

My album of the decade. Clear cut. Can't wait for the new one.

The longevity of this album is remarkable! A lot of Blackgaze bands had problems shedding their Black-Metal sound, mainly because their non metal elements were somewhat bland and only interesting in the context of the whole Blackgaze sound. Markus didn´t seem to have this problem. Somehow, this is his densest (and most cohesive) record.

I think time will do this record justice, once people forget how sick they were of the Blackgaze sound.
