Arcturus The Sham Mirrors
Voto:
As for music, I am currently listening to "The Sham Mirrors" by the Norwegians Arcturus: If the next chapter, "Sideshow Symphonies," hadn't fully convinced me due to a songwriting that wasn't entirely inspired, the penultimate work struck me, even though it took dozens of listens to fully understand it, being anything but an immediate album. Then, on drums, there's the legendary Hellhammer, a name that says it all! Spacey and ancestral atmospheres will accompany you throughout the duration of the CD!
And now I have to check out their earlier works.
Anyway, not a masterpiece but an enjoyable work...excellent review!

Exactly! If you read carefully, I wrote 2 bands that are very different! I absolutely didn't say anything heretical since I also love The Gathering... (check the rating in Fidia's review)

overrated album: I like Angra, but in my opinion, they will reach their compositional peak with the next Holy Land.

I wanted to write this review myself... and I had the same rating and considerations as you. No album has managed to evoke the cold so intensely...
