This was my first experience with Paysage d"Hiver. If you have any interest in exploring the cold and dark side of atmospheric black metal, I would suggest this album to most new listeners. The inhospitable nature of being in a winter storm, with just the maw of the void staring back at you is what this album made me feel. Despite that, it is a comforting feeling. QQBeastMode
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
Cinquième sortie de l'oracle du black metal Asthâghul et, allez savoir quelles vapeurs lui inspirent des univers aussi dantesques (certainement pas celles du laurier en tout cas), rien ne l'arrête quand il s'agit de susciter toujours plus de peur et de fascination. Kantele, piano et violons sont réunis avec un black metal psychédélique dans Eternity Of Shaog pour alimenter, dans l'esprit de l'album précédent, une symphonie toxique, dans le but de nous faire franchir des passages spirituels.
