Vehemency
Truly unique, magical, otherworldly. I could sum up Journey Through the Cold Moors of Svartthern with those words. This demo indeed is something rather unique, because there's no distorted electric guitars used. However, the obscure synth mat in the title-track makes it feel like a distorted guitar was playing in the background. Low fidelity acoustic guitars are present everywhere, and so are shrieked screams. And the beautiful synths, the synths...

These are the ingredients on which Journey Through the Cold Moors of Svartthern is built upon. The whole short demo feels exactly how it it is named. Sometimes it is hard to argue why something deserves fife stars, because the experience is very personal. And this is no different. Surely there's many bands that have done something similar in this vein, but so far I haven't heard anything so purely magical as this certain demo.

I believe that Carpathian Forest plays some sort of more thrashy black metal nowadays and that is why I haven't had the guts to listen to any other releases of theirs - I haven't wanted to ruin the magic of this masterpiece because, oddly enough, this demo is how I have through years considered Carpathian Forest to sound.
