For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11 KJV kingdavidslament
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.

If I didn't know Wintherr is one of the masterminds behind Darkspace I think I would've guessed it by listening to this album, especially the final track. This album is a masterpiece of black metal art, so magically atmospheric and so oppresively dark and cold. Anders Kvistr
