 The great heart of these guys must be acknowledged; though not revolutionizing anything in a genre that, although young, has already said much about its personality, they have managed to give their fans and more generally the listeners of the scene an intimate and nocturnal work, considered, reflective and rewarding, perhaps less immediate than its predecessor, but one that will undoubtedly provide emotions to those who know how to make it their own.

 Originally from the State of Washington, Alda is yet another band belonging to the so-called "Cascadian Black Metal," a genre, if we can define it as such, that owes its origins, like it or not, to Wolves In The Throne Room, but that includes bands of undeniable talent.
