Those songs are mostly composed by mid-paced riffs, simple drum patterns and evil vocals. The first three songs are the longest on the album, with a growing lenght: the first song clocks after 8 minutes, the second one after 9 minutes and the third one has a 11 minutes lenght. He uses a few riffs for each song, but each riff is good and never seem ripetitive. It's a quite long average in the black metal scene to be honest I'd say, showing one of the most impressive quality of Akhenaten: the songwriting. Musically, Thy Dying Light is composed of 9 tracks and ends after 52 minutes, an almost 6 minutes average per song. It is a more Burzum-like painting, with dead trees and a dark shadow walking, with a distant shape of a church in the Distance.
The artwork is not as good as the one of Distant in Solitary Night, it's simpler and less good. While hearing this album you can almost smell the death, thus see dead bodies on a desolate road. Thy Dying Light has a unique atmosphere coming from the music: it's not dark and haunting as albums like Heaven in Flames, it's more destructive and cruel. He plays a similar kind of music, very simple to play yet hard to understand. He is a great fan of Darkthrone, at least until Panzerfaust album. Akhenaten, the leader of this one man band, has composed the music and has written all the lyrics during the first half of 1996. The one I'm reviewing is their second effort, released in 1996, which is the same year they released the debut album: a very prolific beginning.
#Judas iscariot thy dying light review full
They have released various demo tapes and EPs, a Live Album and six full lenghts. American black metal band Judas Iscariot is, nowadays, the most famous act in the U.S.A., even though they split-up on 2002.
