A good friend of mine in moscow told me that the new project from BM (Blurry Lights) had been anounced, i almost shit myself...when you listen to Blurry Lights you will understand why...which i totally recommend by the way.
Later on...Tim Yatras, a.k.a. Sorrow (Germ, Grey Waters, Austere) was confirmed on vocals...then i lost it...completely. he has a unique way to sing with such grief and pain...but there is also a sense of redemption...like an euphoric depression trough his vocals..."feel shitty today but remember...tomorrow is a new day" kind of thing.
This mixture of genuises and styles gave birth to Skyforest...and man...i´ts like heroin to my ears. A brilliant album...atmospheric elements, great and understandable vocals, the guitar passages are astonishing...that gazey touch in some tracks makes you wander and get lost in every melody this album emerges...for me is not a rare feeling cause i am used to it trough Yatras work...but the atmospheric element and those strings take it to a whole new level of coldness, despair and melancholy so unique...that makes it in my personal top 10 of this year...highly ranked of course.
this album is a journey...but is not for everyone sadly...if you´re looking for the ritualistic and primitive headbanging, plus monotone riffs and catchy choruses...definitely is not for you...this is for people with a different mindset, different emotional burden or even a different approach to music in general...of course...the album is worth the listen...even if you´re in any of these type of people...but it will be even better and it will enhance the experience if you are truly in touch with your emotions instead of your basic and primitive instincts. a masterpiece of this year´s releases and so unique...that if i keep typing...i will repeat the word unique several times.
Enjoy!
