“……the band created a unique space for fans of early Ulver, Eis, Fen, Arcturus and Solefald.
The band set to work very quickly on their excellent follow-up, Melancholie des Seins, which takes a great deal of the mood present on the previous album, but brings along improved and dynamic songwriting. This allows the band to bring more dimensions to their sound, create more memorable parts, and play around with more tempos.”
– Decibel Magazine
Invoking the atmosphere of Black Metal’s avant-garde beginnings ala early Ulver, Arcturus, and Ved Buens Ende, Germany’s SCHATTENFALL are paving a new way through the dense Black Forest creating sweeping soundscapes and melodic discord with an inspired vigor that is quite captivating. Featuring ex-members of White Ward, this German band’s second offering is raising the bar in terms of quality and distinction.
