A new release from one man project Sun Devoured Earth out of Latvia. This one is a bit of a departure from his earlier works that were more lo-fi but still retains the alternating beauty and sadness that is woven throughout. There are less black metal moments on this full length but the material is strong and the album rises and falls with despair being the connective tissue. An excellent release that exists in a permanent state of twilight and a feeling in the music if not the lyrics that there may just be some bit of hope.

I like this a lot. The murky quality of that image lends itself well to that sense of "permanent twilight". I would also agree that hope dwells within the melancholy tones of the music.
