`: Expulse is the second album release :'
`: from Russian one man black metal act :'
`: Stielas Storhett. The 2011 features :'
`: seven tracks of avant-garde inclined :'
`: melodic black metal. That means :'
`: plenty of acoustic guitars, melodic :'
`: leads and even some saxophone. The :'
`: project is all the work of musician :'
`: Damian T.G. It is the first album :'
`: release since the 2006 debut :'
`: Vandrer... although Stielas Storhett :'
`: has been far from quiet in the time :'
`: since the debut, releasing a split :'
`: and an EP in 2008 and 2010 :'
`: respectively. :'
`: :'
`: Though the album has avant-garde :'
`: leanings the music doesnÆt have any :'
`: massive amounts of downright :'
`: weirdness, in fact itÆs got a lot of :'
`: clarity in its direction. This is :'
`: far from typical black metal either :'
`: although the approach to the black :'
`: metal in it should definitely appeal :'
`: to even the more die hard black :'
`: metal fans through use of really :'
`: tortured vocals and a professional :'
`: yet still somewhat raw and :'
`: atmospheric production. :'
`: :'
`: Opening with the sounds of a woman :'
`: screaming and some really dark :'
`: tones, the album really throws you :'
`: off what to expect when almost :'
`: straight away it strips everything :'
`: else back to make way for the :'
`: acoustic guitar. Brief as this :'
`: little passage is, itÆs a good :'
`: indicator that Expulse is going to :'
`: be far from a predictable and :'
`: generic package. There are plenty of :'
`: eyebrow raising moments throughout :'
`: the album when the music switches :'
`: from pretty harsh black metal to :'
`: something more melodic, with another :'
`: noteworthy case being when the :'
`: saxophone is brought out in the :'
`: final two tracks, Expulse, and Angel :'
`: of Death. :'
`: :'
`: The vocals arenÆt the most :'
`: decipherable IÆve ever heard, since :'
`: Damian T.G. is in possession of a :'
`: tortured black metal growl as :'
`: mentioned above, but sometimes he :'
`: switches to a cleaner whisper like :'
`: vocal style. I canÆt really :'
`: understand a word that comes out of :'
`: his mouth even then, but thatÆs :'
`: okay, since the vocal is used here :'
`: not so much for singing along as in :'
`: more mainstream musical styles, even :'
`: metal ones, but like another :'
`: instrument, and one that really adds :'
`: to ExpulseÆs dark atmosphere. All :'
`: Paths Lead to Oblivion is a track :'
`: that showcases all the really great :'
`: aspects of the album, which also :'
`: includes use of melodic guitar leads :'
`: and often very prominent bass :'
`: guitar. :'
`: :'
`: The lighter material in the album, :'
`: something also showcased in All :'
`: Paths Lead to Oblivion, is of an :'
`: equal quality to the metal, and the :'
`: acoustic guitar playing is actually :'
`: one of the biggest highlights of the :'
`: release, as it manages to give :'
`: Damian T.G.Æs compositions much more :'
`: depth than they would if he were :'
`: content to thrash away with his :'
`: black metal riffs and shrieked :'
`: vocals. The track Hush-a-bye is the :'
`: shortest piece on the album and :'
`: another excellent melodic interlude :'
`: that really shows how dark the :'
`: atmosphere is even when there isnÆt :'
`: much metal involved (the track is :'
`: about three quarters of the way in :'
`: before any metal starts building up :'
`: again). :'
`: :'
`: Expulse is a really great album from :'
`: Stielas Storhett. Because of its :'
`: nature it took me a few listens to :'
`: really appreciate it, but having :'
`: given it several listens I find that :'
`: what we have here is no less than :'
`: masterful and more unique sounding :'
`: black metal than what many acts :'
`: routinely deliver. Expulse comes :'
`: very highly recommended! :'
