Uncrossing The Keys

Description

The wild sons of Manchester, Wode, return with their 4th album Uncrossing The Keys, confidently expanding their unique sound, rooted in fierce black metal and massive heavy metal. Ever more melodic and structured, they explore new dark shades: post-punk/goth surges on Saturn Shadow, the atmospheric instrumental Phantom, or the doom-laden slowness and gravity of Transmutation recalling Paradise Lost and Amorphis. Under Lanternlight blends melancholy and power in the manner of Sentenced, with shimmering and funereal guitars. The raspy, almost ritualistic voice intensifies this twilight atmosphere. The result of constant evolution, the album unfolds a blackened heavy metal that is both majestic and haunted.
