On Woven into Ashes, Vintersea finally seems to be capitalizing on their potential. Avienne's vocal range is given more prominence, and the band's musical versatility is on full display. From the opening moments of "Unveiling Light", to the closing moments of “No Tomorrow”, Woven into Ashes is a solid display of musical creativity and technical proficiency. With its impressive musicianship, diverse range of sounds, and emotionally charged performances, this album should cement Vintersea’s place as one of the more exciting and innovative bands currently experimenting with what is possible within prog and black metal while still being one of the most accessible. While I still believe the best is yet to come, Woven Into Ashes is a really strong album that highlights Vintersea's potential and leaves me excited for what they will do next.
