User Album Review
‘The Dark Hereafter’ presents itself to once again transport you to the wonderland that Winterfylleth tries to show you. The album lasts for 40 minutes or so, but time passes with different speeds at different parts of the album. The first three tracks zoom by at a considerable pace, with quintessential Winterfylleth tremolo melodies over rapid drumming and infrequent crescendo breaks.
The tempo changes with “Green Cathedral”, when a folksy ambient intro opens the 13-minute track into blackened folk-doom, reminiscent of Agalloch and very different from anything that has come before. “Led Astray in the Forest Dark” is an anthemic pagan folk track, again something that could come out of an early Agalloch release, almost like a tribute. The chants in the final two tracks are enchanting to say the least.
‘The Dark Hereafter’ cohesively joins the rest of the albums in their discography, but doesn’t add any new flavour to it.
