CoC : Vinterriket - Gjennon Takete Skogen : Review

Vinterriket - _Gjennon Takete Skogen_
by: Quentin Kalis (5 out of 5)

This first demo by one-man band Vinterriket presents us with five dark ambient, almost entirely instrumental tracks. Considerable variety is displayed within the five songs, ranging from sinister synthscapes to more reflective moods, with neoclassical sounding synths coming into play at times yet never failing to maintain a cold, desolate atmosphere. Yes, this entire album is keyboard/synth based. So what? Keyboards can display a variety of emotions and moods. Anyone who has the slightest interest in this underrated sub-genre of extreme music should check out this demo. An auspicious start.
