Dies Ater - Through Weird Woods
These German maniacs have put together an album of symphonic and brutal Black Metal that stands out from the crowd. A good point of reference would be Emperor’s masterpiece In the Nightside Eclipse. Dies Ater, however, do not place as much emphasis on the keyboards as their Norwegian counterparts did on their aforementioned album. And I actually think that Through Weird Woods has the better production of the two. Vocalist Nuntius Tristis has an incredibly grim singing style that adds a strong dose of brutality to the cold, bleak atmosphere of this release which includes six songs, an intro, and an outro. The guitars have a much better production than what is normally found on a typical Black Metal album. And you can forget that paper-thin drum sound. The drumming here is so thunderously clear that your walls will shake! The song-structures vary in complexity and tempo ensuring that no two songs sound the same. No chance of boredom here. Hell, the title-track alone is worth the price of this album!
