Night In Gales - SHADOWREAPER (SPLATTER VINYL) Vinyl LP

Musically speaking, “Shadowreaper” is the next logical step after “The Black Stream” and kicks right in with ‘Into The Evergrey’ which opens with tasteful acoustic guitars that lead into a driving monster of a song. The following ‘The Horrors Of Endlessness’ feels like a relentless warning against the idea of eternity. While NIGHT IN GALES keep the overall speed quite high, they are also able to take the foot off the gas pedal to allow mellow moments e.g. in ‘The Nihilist Delta’ to shine through all ongoing darkness. While ‘Spirals’ creates an irresistible groove, it’s ‘Sculptures And Defleshed’ that bundles all the band’s strengths in perfect manner. The closing ‘Walk Of Infinity’ leaves the listener behind in complete darkness, with no light in sight.
