Tardigrada play a brand of atmospheric depressive black metal that even though is not anything new under the sun, it is performed at a very high level. Even though Emotionale Odnis is 60 minutes long, it easily draws you into its world and feels much shorter. In addition, the album consists of 5 interludes and 5 tracks that are at least eight and a half minutes long which provides consistency on one hand and the opportunity for the band to fully develop their ideas on the other. The tortured vocals might put some listeners off but they fit the overall mood. Overall, an excellent debut.
