In the Cold Ice of Outer Space

Unlike black metal, Bloodstar evokes cold imagery in a different way. Instead of walking through a forest during a Scandinavian winter, this is an icy interplanetary world from a science fiction novel, perhaps those written by band member Micha Pansi. It's a soundtrack for walking on the surface of Pluto in an alternate universe where we are free to travel through space.

There's thrash riffs, melodic leads, industrial programmed drumming, but it all comes second to the atmosphere, which is made even stronger with the great addition of the organ. One of the finest moments on the album is the fantastic doom metal-esque rendition of Goblin's "L'Alba Dei Morti Viventi"

Perfect listen for a lonely winter night, where the only thing entering your ears are the cold apocalyptic sounds of space from this little-known album.
