Ornath - Wyobcowanie



Band: Ornath
Album: Wyobcowanie [EP]
Genre: Post-Metal (self-described as depressive rock)
Country: Poland
Year: 2013

This one-track EP, 3:53 minutes long, bears the same title as its single song, "Wyobcawanie", which means "isolation" in Polish. Immediately we see this big crow on the album cover and know it's going to be dark. The piano in the background only strengthens the Poe-esque connection, and there is certainly a "Gothic" rock feeling which makes the progression dynamic and provides a lot to listen to, although it's not explosive. The guitars aren't very distorted. The vocals aren't bad except for when the double-vocal, where the secondary voice is kind of... uncalled for. God damn it, they just ruin it for me, but thankfully they aren't featured in most of the song. The ending vocal, however, sounds very nice and conclusive, and the mix goes well. 

Over all it's a fun release and a break from the monotonous drudge of usual "black metal" these days.

8/10 for Post-Metal the double vocal man
