The slow pace and mournful atmosphere should appeal to doom metal fans, but the harsh black metal vocals that crop up in places do sound a little out of place against the sweeping orchestration, and are probably the album's main failing merely for sticking out so much.

Empyrium's first album is a classic of folk metal, of the rare variety that doesn't end up sounding irritatingly upbeat. While this doesn't quite possess the melancholy gloom of their second release, 'A Wintersunset...' sounds like an incredibly effective and atmospheric attempt to capture the essence of nature in its various forms, communicated through folk-inspired melodies and a prominent synthesised orchestra.

ONE STEP CLOSER 
I LOVE THIS TOWN Very heavy, just what you expect. Certainly not for the faint hearted. Something different. Will disappoint fans. Varied and accessible black metal. Lacks authentic atmosphere of its predecessor. Early symphonic black metal. Fairly primitive and repetitive.The Great Cold Distance - Katatonia
Consistent. Very dull and repetitive.
Viva Emptiness - Katatonia
At least there's no rap, I guess? Irritating pandering to the mainstream rock audience.
Armada - Keep Of Kalessin
Strong, creative black metal, without over-reliance on symphonic elements. Sometimes, you might fancy something a little simpler.
Chaos Is My Name - Khlyst
Something different. There's a reason no other album sounds like this.
Coma Of Souls - Kreator
Angry thrash classics, great musical performance. Repetitive rhythms.
Einsamkeit - Lacrimosa
Goth - 2004
Extreme Aggression - Kreator
One of the all time top 10 of thrash metal albums None
II - Krux
Classic doom style for classic doom fans. Lacks original ideas.
Into The Oriental - Kadenzza
Creative and well-balanced symphonic black metal. Electronic drums are disappointing, and longer songs don't hold together as well.
Crucify My Heart - Lullacry
Something ever-so-slightly different for gothic metal fans. Run-of-the-mill instrumentation.
