Here we have the prototypical one-man band laying down massive tracks of Atmospheric Black Metal. Storming is clearly a project intended to evoke that classic Emperor sound, with that highly compressed guitar sound straight out of the late '90s and the echoing, spacey keyboards like a horror movie soundtrack. Except for a short instrumental, these tracks are all long, and while they don't have a compositional reason for being that long, the very length and repetition are part of the intended sound and vibe of the whole thing, just like In the Nightside Eclipse—an album this outfit is definitely taking major inspiration from. This is doing one thing very well, but it's something I like, and I feel like not enough of the would-be retro second-wave Black Metal bands get this kind of thing right. This one gets it right. |
