Review: Playing the first
track makes me question: am I listening to post-black
metal or not? There’s too little one-string
tremolo-picking there to really qualify as
‘post’ and the keyboards I hear are quite
ominous. The programmed drums sound a bit weird - like a
passing helicopter - perhaps because they are very soft
in the mix and everything else pushes them away. After
the interlude Vain, the band’s name-song
appears, which has a very poppy ring to it. At this
point, when we’re still sweetly charmed by the nice
piano touches, it dawns on me that I’ve heard more
than enough of Wilds Forlorn and its near-post tracks,
while we still have another song to go. So I skip. The
last track has some nice parts, but I’m glad the
forty minutes are over, and I can move on with my musical
chores.
Note: I realise, I
might have a set of mp3's that does not correspond with
the tracklist here, or they have been wrongfully named...
I will look into that at a later moment!
