Review

This is a... different track. It sounds very strange and when compared to other Bull of Heaven tracks, its still different and weird. The song uses lots of low pitched sounds, with a low, dark drone through the whole song. Also, it uses something that sounds like bells, but they sound as if they have slowed down, because of the low pitch and long tone. Theres some more metallic sounds in the song also, like the clink of metal hitting each other, The song uses strange noises that sound something like a helicopter sometimes, but of course not so loud. Sometimes you can hear the sound of voices, and theres two types of voices in the song, theres a middle pitch voice, and this sounds similar to the helicopter sound because it cuts in and out very fast, in the rhythm of the helicopter sound. Also, theres a low voice, but this voice doesnt follow the rhythm of the helicopter. With both of the voices, its impossible to recognise any words or meaning, but the voices add lots to the dark, threatening and strange atmosphere the song tries to create. Sometimes, the song will fade out to use a continuous drone track and the bells exclusively, before starting to use the helicopter sound, or the voice tracks again. At about 46 minutes, there was a third voice track, this time it was chanting in a low pitch again, this voice was next to impossible to understand. For something like two minutes this was the main focus of the song, but after this the track faded out into the second voice track, before stopping completely. To be honest, this song keeps going for too long, and it would be fine to end the song at about 40 minutes, and maybe move the third voice track to 20 minutes, to try to keep the song interesting. Despite this, its a very good track and it has a very unique and special feeling to it.
