Mortum Exabyss - The Wind of Ether

Review by Margaret Russell

Mortum Exabyss's latest album, The Wind of Ether, is a haunting and atmospheric journey through the depths of black metal. From the opening track, "The Summoning," the listener is transported to a world of darkness and despair, where the only solace is in the crushing riffs and thunderous drums.

The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument perfectly balanced and the vocals soaring above the mix. The guitar work is particularly impressive, with intricate leads and harmonies weaving in and out of the dense, churning riffs.

Despite the intensity of the music, there are moments of beauty and introspection, such as the acoustic interlude "The Whispering Woods" and the haunting instrumental "Ethereal Veil." These moments provide a much-needed respite from the unrelenting assault of the rest of the album.

Summary by Margaret Russell

The Wind of Ether is a stunning achievement from Mortum Exabyss. It is a must-listen for fans of atmospheric black metal, and a testament to the band's skill and dedication to their craft.
