4 stars Listening diary 16th January, 2022: Ikuinen Kaamos - Closure (progressive metal, 2008)

If you can look past the very loud and very obvious Opeth influence, this is actually a really solid release. And I wouldn't even say that influence is as all-consuming as it is on some other Opeth clones, as some influences from black and gothic metal sneak in to give this a point of difference. The art of the Opethian slide riff is here and showcased well, as is the use of melancholic clean vocals to break up the heavy sections. It does always come with a bit of a caveat due to its lack of originality, but most of the musical ideas here are solid enough, and is probably a worthy addition to the library of anyone who misses the old growl days.

7.2 (6th listen)
