Exiled from Light - There Is No Beauty Left Here Review


Exiled from Light - There Is No Beauty Left Here
Full-length, self released, 2008

Depressive BM from New Zealand, sure to satisfy fans of DROWNING THE LIGHT (Australia), PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS (Australia), XASTHUR (USA), LEVIATHAN (USA), ANTI (Germany), MAKE A CHANGE... KILL YOURSELF (Denmark), NORTT (Denmark) and maybe even SHINING (Sweden) and SILENCER (Sweden), though this is much slower and filled with piano interludes etc.

Some KATATONIA and SWALLOW THE SUN fans might apprecciate this band/album as well for it's melancholic sadness and the darkness that pervades the entire piece. The album cover reminds me of BURZUM style album art, such as "HVIT LISSET TAR OSS".

The album is rather unique in it's own right specifically for the rather different style of drumming and the drum sound in the mix. All in all a rather quiet album, mid-paced in speed and filled wih melancholic sadness, lillting and beautiful in it's own way!
