I first heard Waldgefluster on their split release with Panopticon. The folky melodic black metal song was really good, but the acoustic track was dull. That left me wondering whether this album would be full of great black metal interspersed with tedious, meandering folk. The great answer is that the first part is true, but the second part never happened. Instead, this is probably one of the best post black metal albums I’ve heard. It is dynamic and varied, and the songs actually seem focused (as opposed to the tedious meandering that seems to ruin so many post black albums). There are elements of folk, early Ulver, 90s melodic black metal, and post rock. Well worth checking out.
