When I mess with the sound in SmartAudio and bump up the lower end, this sounds less painful. Really wish they wouldn't have released this with as much "treble" or w/e, though.

I may be way off about this but I'm pretty sure there are two mixes of this album floating around. The provided song an this review and the recently taken down Spotify version seem to have a tinnier quality which makes me think it's an early mix. Meanwhile, this stream is much fuller and sounds like a different mix entirely.

Did the guy from this band say on his facebook that the Spotify were stolen anyway? Makes sense that they were crappy(er) rips stolen from somewhere.

Well that'd be why it's not on Spotify anymore. Hopefully it come back proper but I'm not holding my breath.

It's definitely very Alcesty and Falls of Raurosey. And not as good as either but I like it

The buried vocals feel painful in their anguished cries, while the uplifting riffs in tracks like “Withering Field” or "This Autumn Light" reveal a blissful side to the suffering. It’s all about the clashing of moods, the dual presence of crushing depression and sincere hopefulness that gives As The Stars a third dimension that most traditional and post-black metal records alike cannot begin to conceive due to their blindness of the other side.



Couldn't of said it better. pos.
