Hisstönend

A Russian atmospheric black metal band noted in the review for creating forest-themed, ambient-infused albums; II is described as a 50-minute, six-track release heavy on atmosphere and prolonged passages.

II is described as a 50-minute atmospheric Black Metal album focused on woodland atmospheres and pervasive ambient samples. The record is immersive and prolix by design, featuring six tracks (including a 17-minute closer) and melodic, arpeggiated riffs. The reviewer praises its ability to evoke forest imagery but notes it may be challenging for listeners not attuned to this style.

For:listeners of atmospheric/ambient black metal and fans of long, evocative metal compositions
