Rating: 3.0/5
Comments: This two track album by Echtra is essentially one, long-form composition. The album is very minimal, bordering on drone in several sections, and features a very prominent folk influence. Sparse acoustic guitars are strummed a long to extended passages of feedback, and the "traditional" sounding black metal segments are far and few between. It's an interesting release, and certainly an unusual one, but the album fails to succeed in creating an immersive atmosphere. Instead of reaching out and grabbing the listener's attention, the music tends to fall into the background. Nevertheless, the originality of the release should impress some listeners.
Track list:
- Paragate I [23:00]
- Paragate II [22:59]
Total length: 45:59
