Winds of Mortal Hope

For a three song demo you can download off of Myspace, this is pretty good stuff. Very intense and scary as hell once you get into it, Death Aura is a project that is well on it’s way to making a place in the line of great ambient black metal bands. Although the music is ore or less ambient with moments of extreme intensity and rather simplistic atmospheric guitar work, it is in the end depressive black metal all the same. A lot of the keyboard work on this demo is astounding, and the musical composition of the songs are impressive. The big downside is how short it is.

The vocals are very vague and have a very dark message behind them. They add well with the almost droning atmospheric guitar distortions. The music is thick, and the drums could be better, but for a demo the production is very good. The concept to me is rather vague but I can’t help shake the fact that it’s depressing as hell and very lonesome just based on the sound. The only other downside I can find is the possible lack of bass (cause it’s it’s there I didn’t her it). Aside from it’s own flaws as a demo, this is worth the time to download on Myspace (before it’s no longer available).
