--------------------------------------------------------

This is a very unique band to say the least. They incorporate many classical elements, while still retaining a fierce black metal sound.

The first half-second of the album starts of sounding like a complete and utter mess, bad production, unclear guitars, crazy drums, but all of a sudden, a lone melodic guitar explodes out of the chaos like a drowning victim taking a breath. The contrast on this album is incredible. I don't know whether to call this Raw or Melodic black metal because Mystic Forest manages to pull both off at the same time in such a magnificent fashion.

Later on in the album, other classical instruments are introduced, including an accordion! Highly recommended mainly because it's something different.
