Winterkaelte is one hell of a listen--the average song length adds up to fourteen minutes, and there happens to be six of them--but it's well worth it. Blankets of noise, ambience, and Tobias Mockl's bloodcurdling screams seem to make a terrifying listen to the untrained ear, but if you listen closely, you can make out the elegance and beauty hidden under the roar. The ambient parts are calming and relaxing, and when the actual black metal comes in, it's enough to make your heart skip a beat. After a near month of listening to this every night, and as fall and winter starts to blanket my part of the Earth, it's safe to rank this as a truly classic album.

As much as this album was really long, it was also excellent black metal. I had a hard time listening to it in the beginning because it was literally just the sound of blowing wind and the winter air for a long time, but now I realize that was an introduction into what was to come, which was amazing black metal, plus ambient. Like all black metal, the production quality was very bad and simple, but it never got old. All the melodic elements of this album could still be heard very well, despite everything else. I will put it this way, imagine yourself stuck in a cabin in a forest and you are there the whole season of Winter just staring out the window. At night, you hear death shrieks, growls of all sorts, and finally you cannot sleep. When the little light of the sun finally comes up, it is the silent and ambient morning of day. The season of Winter finally ends and the album ends also.

The lo-fi wintry black metal album. Everything is here: sinister riffs, pulsating blast-beats, lo-fi wind samples and ghostly but calming ambient sections. Meisterwerk.

My favourite from Pd'H by far. This album shows a lot of maturity in construction compared to previous records, alternating very well between field recording sections, black metal bursts, and ambient parts. The production is a lot cleaner too, which arguably takes away a little bit of the Pd'H DNA, but makes the record less tough a pill to swallow. The middle section especially tracks 2 and 4 bring the album down a couple points. Their style of slower, more repetitive riff based and less atmospheric bm just clicks with me less than the rest. Prevents the record from being 4.4/4.5 material, but the other tracks keep it high up. Opener especially is a favourite Pd'H jam. 4.3

great album, the only thing i would have enjoyed more was some variation in the riffage, but i guess thats the way this music is
