Post-metal creates less of a headache, because the focus is rather on the non-metal part than vice versa.Įven though there are undoubtedly metal parts on this album, in style and sound it feels somewhat different.
For instance, the vocals are rather atypical in their expression and style or rather would be commonly associated with the aforementioned genre. Even though the Metal Archives lists Windbruch as depressive black metal right now, such is actually a misnomer and unable to cover all of the facets that happen to be on this album.
What unfolds then is a confusing set of elements and the more the music presents itself over the course of the album, the more the listener might be taken aback. If there are no stars and if the darkness becomes overbearing, as it enwraps everything and everyone, this band provides a glimpse into a different sphere, to a different place and space.
#WINDBRUCH NO LIGHTS ONLY FULL DARKNESS ALBUM CRACK#
The opening and closing of “No Stars, Only Full Dark” are some kind of white noise texture which comes over as a crack in the fabric of reality, through which the music is or has been allowed to shine. As there is all to often no immediate necessity to rush things in terms of a physical release, which in this respect has even seen a delay, it opens the questions on why this negligence is indeed necessary? It seems superfluous somehow.
I am amazed how little attention and energy is being spent on such a trifle as a band name or a title of an album.
