very Drudkh-y black metal with a lot of psychadelic ambience thrown in. "Fertile Descent" is two 15+ minute epics of mostly repetitively hypnotic black metal a la Drudkh that even uses the same types of chord progressions to make their similarities to the Ukrainian group even more obvious. After wandering along at a rather rolling pace for a while, the band typically slows into weird psychedelic ambiance, then speeds up and continues the rolling black metal rhythms anew. The second track, "White Jaw" also features a brief foray into punk with some nice d-beat drumming, but unfortunately it doesn't last very long. Pretty decent album, though I've never been big on Drudkh's brand of playing the same riff for five minutes, so I'm unsurprisingly not gaga over Solar Temple, either. That said, don't let my bad opinion of Drudkh keep you from this band :-p
