Annorkoth - Annorkoth (2012)



/Black metal, Darkwave, Symphonic metal, Dream pop, Crossover, Epic, Ambient rock/

Comment
: Annorkoth is an one-man-project from Podolsk, Russia who has been very prolific through his site for the last two years. Annorkoth`s sound is an impressive blend of majestic yet doleful black metal and death metal and on the other side ethereal darkwave/ambient/shoegaze appearances (a la Lycia, Love Spirals Downwards, or Scarlet Leaves). Suggestive vocal lines are cleverly pushed on the background, however, the first line is filled in with picturesque synths and epic guitar noise walls which at times will be calmed down to function as sublime interludes played up to articulated, clear-cut guitar chords.
