Missing out on this January album was my biggest mistake of this year. Fortunately there came Dunk! Festival where the Swedes threw absolutely brilliant gig enchanting the whole audience with their intimate post-rock. So I decided to come back to The Woods and I couldn't did better.
The band "has never shied away from the bleakest parts of the human experience. "The Woods" brings you comfort in knowing you’re not alone. It wants to be a companion in the dark". It's done with the characteristic combination of heavy guitars with fragments of peace and lyricism reminding me a bit of their compatriots from Immanu El. The Swedes' music is both the melancholia and the massive, almost pompous guitar sounds with this slow, engaging pace.
The album is made of three tracks and each of them is a phenomenon of its own. Blackout is exactly the massiveness coming at the listener with the slow but inevitable pace, just like icepack would. The Woods inspires awe with the lyrical vocal and is bound to make you cry of sadness and later mesmerize you with the almost prog-like music with riffs with Crippled Black Phoenix' vibes. And finally An Heir to the Throne makes a perfect ballad with the sad melody and brilliant music going on and on.
