The first release from Roadburn Records is is an extremely heady affair. By melding modern classical composition with doom metal drums, the band White Darkness have thrown open the door to a vast universe of musical possibility.

Elsewhere they evoke the heroically martial tones of Der Blutharsch backing a Dmitri Shostakovich-inspired string quartet.
