If there’s one downside to the album, it’s the vocals, which are semi-harsh growls. It sounds like Warrel Dane doing a poor impression of Johan Hegg, and although the music is good enough to overcome them, they’re quite rare and not as bad once you’re used to them, there’s still enough niggling dissatisfaction to hold Ansur back from the highest levels of esteem. Little to nothing is added by the vocals, and the band would have been better without them.
I agree with you Zad. I also find the music really great and beautiful but as soon as the vocals get in I just can't stand it. The vocals are aweful from any point of view and just spoils it all for me. If these guys get a dedicated singer then I will definitely give them a chance but until then they are just labeled as "promising" in my books.
