Release Year: 2024
Artist Origin: FIN
Style: monumental emotional atmospheric doom metal
this latest STS opus reveals brighter and even more melodic direction, where usual gloomy atmosphere is replaced by more energetic and somewhat shorter songs with a clearer compositional structure, featuring more prominent yet still contrasting vocal lines, emotionally expressed in tracks such as Innocence Was Long Forgotten and What I’ve Become, while retaining distinct guitar solos and expressive keyboard passages, allowing moods to shift smoothly from more uplifting moments to heavier passages, where lyrics reveal personal transformation, experiences of pain, and an attempt to rediscover the meaning, embracing coexistence of light and darkness as an inevitable part of the human condition; European black vinyl edition comes with a pro-printed lyric insert
