This 2-track 14 minute death-black metal EP is definitely something. “Deathless Light” captures both the hardcore and “softer” ends of this hybrid genre in these 8-minute and then 6-minute songs pretty damn well. Both tracks use their length to their advantage by having enough variety in them to make it seem like there’s multiple songs that have been smashed together into two cohesive pieces that can be listened to easily. And I’ve got a pretty good hunch that death and black metal fans will like this at least a little bit because like I said, “Deathless Light” takes aspects from both and incorporates them into this album very nicely so you people will surely find at least a few things you like to hear. I personally thought this was a well done album because I like both genres, long songs that can be pulled off, and something a little different from the stuff that I listen to everyday, which is everything but there isn’t much like this in my ideal selection. So all in all, “Deathless Light” gets my approval for several reasons: it’s good, awesome vocals, badass guitars and drums, it’s different, and the album cover is really, really good in my opinion.
