Comment:

Having been disappointed to hear of the split Austere, I didn't take long time to put all my enthusiasm in Woods of Desolation (some members of WoD were playing in Austere). I think it wouldn't be exaggerate to say that "Torn Beyond Reason"  is the outcome of Austere, the culmination of depressive black metal. The music mainly consists in a seductive representation of desolated atmospheres: beautiful guitar melodies and rending screams emerging from a wall of massive riffs. After a demonstration of DSBM (or BDSM if you prefere *haha*), the album ends on  an instrumental interlude "November" and exalted clean vocals (a bit too much in the background) "Somehow"…
