growling male vocals, plenty of majestic keyboard textures, and just enough gorgeous female vocals to give things a slight gothic edge. Tunes like "Words of Silence", "So Long", and "Suffer in Darkness", all reek with dark and dreary doom, but there's a certain amount of class and melody brought in by the extended use of keyboards and female vocals that adds plenty of charm and beauty to these 9 songs. Ossy Salonen has a brutal death growl that fits the slowness of the music quite well (think early My Dying Bride, Swallow the Sun, and November's Doom).
like on the funereal death march "Cold", or the torturous melancholy of the title track and "The Sun Is Dead", that things start to sound a bit tedious. The band's cover of the Burzum classic "Dunkelheit" is extremely well done, with loads of sweeping melodies permeating the song thanks to some wonderful keyboard work from Salonen.
