Dark Waters Stir

A completely white album in a white digi-pack cover with only the logo in black relief is quite original and nice. Too bad that I can't say the same about the music. It begins with a keyboard intro and then real music starts with fast drums, fast riffs and fast vocals. Frost black metal has this been called, but I can't find anything cold with it. It's a bit in the vain of Immortal with some very good riffs, but nothing really new added. Most songs are better then the pioneering albums from the early 90's, but today that's not enough. A good production is always nice, but when the music isn't fresh it doesn't help much. I am still giving this a this rating because it's better then lots of other junk, but it could have been much better
