PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
Mysterious, suspenseful, and bitter, Paysage d'Hiver leaves me disoriented in the mountains while snow batters my shoulders and the darkness of night brings an unendurable chill. The atmosphere is evocative of pure isolation in the face of the most pernicious and unrelenting forms of nature, yet there's beauty to be found within each track. I return to this album often.

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
