Black vinyl with gatefold cover.

Summoning can not really be called black metal, except for theirdebut album. Whereas black metal is (or should be) ugly andguitar-driven, Summoning’s keyboard-based music is beautiful andatmospherical. Only the harsh but still strangely well-fittingvocals remind of Summoning’s roots which lay partly in the soil ofblack metal. ‘Nightshade Forests’ should, according to Summoning,be seen as a part of the Dol Guldur album, from which these foursongs were dropped obviously due to the massive duration that DolGuldur would have reached in its entirety. This album is differentthan Dol Guldur, though, mostly because of the different sound andproduction. The guitars, which this time play a very small role inthe songs, are mixed to the background so that they are virtuallyjust low buzzing left in the shadow of the multiplekeyboard-layers, bombastic percussion and the gnarling vocals.Because of this, Summoning’s characteristically low “metalness” isreduced to utter minimum on this album. But main point is notwhether Protector and Silenius are playing metal or not – it is thesongs. I simply can’t figure out anything negative to say about thesongwriting or the decisions made in the arrangements. Glorifyingwords I could never find enough. Like masterpieces often do, thisalbum plays with your imagination, awakening inner landscapes:majestic, snowcovered mountain views, an endless morning horizon athigh sea, vast and misty spruce forests at dusk – whatever yourimagination is able to create. Perfect music for wandering in thenature. If you like beautiful and atmospherical music and have noproblem with black metal-styled vocals (or just liked Summoning’sprevious efforts), this album will not be a disappointment.
