Second To Sun are hailing from St Petersburg, another mighty band from the awesome Russian underground scene. This album is in fact re-release of their previous album, which was instrumental only, but this time the guys recorded the vocals and I had  a privilege to listen and review it for this webzine.

This record contains 10 songs of melodic post black metal with some groove metal influences and in whole it sounds really dark and dismal. The production on the record is awesome and sounds really mighty and takes you to some dark places whether you want to go there or not. Although the bio of the band says that they are like purveyors of groove post black metal, you scene purists don´t give up on this record because this is black metal pure with bleak and great atmosphere of despair, anger and depression. I loved “Region 13” being for me the best song on this record but I also loved “The Fool” and its rolling rythms complexity and some eerie background sounds making it sound awesome. All the other songs are also excellent, so check out this record you won´t regret it, cause it is a fine piece of Slavic metal.

8,5/10
