Double album on red vinyls with gatefold cover. Limited 1000copies

As hinted at on Omnio, Norway’s In The Woods has taken yetanother step away from metal. First, they have broken with blackmetal entirely, and secondly, they have perhaps left the genrealtogether in order to create a dark, swirling, heavy rock musicall their own. Utilizing many of the same tactics they pioneered onOmnio, such as the use of a full string quartet alongside the band,In The Woods have taken further liberties in their instrumentation:sitars, gongs, drum loops, and keyboard programming, as well as apedal steel guitar have been incorporated into their sound. Onpaper it sounds dreadful, in the grooves it is positively seductiveand powerful. Picture if you will the Sisters of Mercy if theycould actually play, and decided to write some real songs, or theFields of the Nephilim if they decided to open up their songstructure a bit. Acoustic and electric guitars caress, woo, andcareen off one another on tracks such as “Vanish in the Absence ofVirtue,” “Generally More Worried Than Married,” and on “Cell,” withits Eastern melody draped over a distinctly Western harmonicstructure. All the while the mood is one of loss informed by grief,and the unwillingness to give an inch to anything that might pullone out of the human cellar of dark emotions before it is time. Themeld of masculine and feminine vocals is nothing if notbreathtaking, and the entire proceeding is seductive in the sameway Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleur du Mal is: sweet, tough, spiky,and full of the most delicious venom.
