For the main part, this is a solid atmospheric black metal release. However, when you add outside-the-box character to black metal, that’s when things start to get interesting. Eldfaerd employ a good amount of nordic folk elements, but also a form of melodic battle metal. Yes, I mean there is a slight wave to Amon Amarth. Whereas those metal vikings can get a bit “meat and potatoes”, though, these Swedes use their atmospheric BM face to extrapolate in songwriting. Skyimmingsland does display a similar bombast, but it feels a lot more serious, and emotional. That, I think, comes from the turns of traditional vocal techniques and melodies which show up throughout the recording. As with a lot of EPs, this is begging for more. Nevertheless, it is a nice little winter treat. I think we’ll be wanting to keep an eye on this lot. - slowdragonmusic
