Inherits The Void is a fascinating atmospheric black metal project. Three albums in, they have proven to be a masterful artist in creating both melodic and intense black metal without sacrificing any of the atmosphere that makes it so beautiful.

With the release of their latest album titled ‘The Hell We Have Chosen’, Strixskog has blown open the windows with winds of fury and lament, parting ways with prior elements and welcoming a heavier, more intense atmosphere.

The trail where ‘Pristine’ ended was resumed quite beautifully with ‘Wastelands’. Where many bands fail to deliver a second quality album after a masterful debut, Morwinyon seems to have not skipped a beat.

In the latest album titled ‘The Falling Tide’, Woods of Desolation brings a depth that can only be derived from years of experience creating music in this genre. This is no mere novice. Woods of Desolation demonstrates a masterclass.

With a hybrid approach to black metal, both inducing atmosphere and aggressiveness throughout each record, Great Cold Emptiness embodies what is beautiful about black metal’s evolution.
