Solstafir - Köld

okay i finally received this album yesterday and my first impressions are it is extremely good but the guy can't really sing so the clean vocals are still a big QUESTION MARK for me, also the spoken thing in world devoid of souls is kinda awkward

also the beginning of the first song IS "endemoniada" by fotnephilim

I held the same opinion for the longest while, but have since changed my stance and contest that it's a grand prelude. As for the chap's delivery, it's unorthodoxly refreshing. I'm also quite the fan of the twistedly romantic lyrics.
 
I like this more than masterpiece, and the clean vocal stuff works great live where it sounds more "raw and powerful" and less "oh god I can't sing"
 
i like when people on actual records on actual record labels don't sing so well because it makes me feel more confident about my insecure wailings
