The trail where ‘Pristine’ ended was resumed quite beautifully with ‘Wastelands’. Where many bands fail to deliver a second quality album after a masterful debut, Morwinyon seems to have not skipped a beat.

In the latest album titled ‘The Falling Tide’, Woods of Desolation brings a depth that can only be derived from years of experience creating music in this genre. This is no mere novice. Woods of Desolation demonstrates a masterclass.

With a hybrid approach to black metal, both inducing atmosphere and aggressiveness throughout each record, Great Cold Emptiness embodies what is beautiful about black metal’s evolution.
