If the lack of ratings, soundoffs, and reviews are anything to go by, Todtgelichter is a tough band to get into. It’s not really surprising, though. They take the cold, abrasive sound of black metal (including the throat-shredding vocals) and push it through a morose form of progressive rock. The female singing, too, is tough to get into because her vocals occupy a semi-nassally niche that lacks emotion in order to maintain the dark, cold, atmosphere that dominates the album. The thing is, though, it’s all worth it. Buried behind that ‘price of admission’ are great progressive rock songs with a very unique sound.
