Elegy is an adventure full of beautiful instrumentation, great vocal variation,dramatic thematic twists and turns in a style that mashes blackened post-metal, sludge and doom. Overall the production is wonderful whether it be the rich string sections, froggy caveman bellows, black metal shrieks, clanking wood blocks, tremelo guitars or the female guest vocals; the production nails it. The elements themselves don't always come together as a whole. Any given minute or moment of this record can be beautiful but the songs are very long and Dead to a Dying world don't always piece the parts together in a way that will keep your attention. At times it feels like they wrote a very good 5-6 minute section and then stretched it out a few minutes here and there. Also, perhaps just too much of the heavy strings into tremolo+shrieking BM vox trick. The long tracks feel a bit formulaic at times. An adventure worth taking for the sheer production values and the really gorgeous soundscapes here and there but a bit sparse overall.

Was really expecting more from this album considering the hype. Was hoping this would be a little heavy but sleep inducing doom/post metal is what i actually got. Not impressed.

Violin guided BM, mixed with sludgedoom and flirts even with blackgaze, turns out to be a very
rpleasant and varied experience. Female vox almost blows, but all tracks and album flows
nice.rRecd rTracks - The Seer's Embrace; Empty Hands, Hollow Hymns; Of Moss and Stone.

...wow, thas sum pretty good muzick.rOnly last three tracks do it for me, really. And two of them should be a lot shorter, say 5 and 8 rminutes respectively. Always what holds these bands back imo. rBut Of Moss and Stone is SOTY minus last four minutes.
