Clean playing and melodic guitar leads start off the album along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them before adding in more of a heavier doom metal direction and when vocals are added onto the recording they are mostly death metal growls and the music is heavily rooted in the early 90's.
When keyboards are utilized they are done in a very tragic, atmospheric and gothic style while some of the tracks are very long and epic in length along with the riffs also bringing in a great amount of melody and when screams are utilized they also add in a touch of black metal and when female vocals are utilized they give the music more of an operatic feeling, a couple of the later tracks are instrumentals and as the album progresses a brief use of spoken word parts can be heard and all of the music sticks to a very slow musical direction.
Lorelei plays a musical style that goes back to the 90's atmospheric and gothic doom/death metal style, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Russian and cover dark and depressive themes.
In my opinion Lorelei are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of goth, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ya Severniy Veter" "I Teho Vetly Shelestyat" and "Canticum Angelorum". 8 out of 10.
