Coldly
eerie in such a sense this group defies new meaning in the world
of Black Metal, but on the other hand this uniquely tight fitted
group of individuals gratifies beyond what most would think of traditional
dark metal music would be. Not taking away anything musically more
from the realms of extreme metal <CODE> offers
a fresh musical scope with a sense of melodic hidden empowerment
revealed in the band song structures with heavy emphasis of the
rhythm section and vocal style. A kaleidoscope of intense variations
of dynamic drumming, imaginative guitar works to the final equation
of potent vocals. <CODE>’s realism
to their craft begins on a journey into musical consciousness with
track A Cloud Formed Teardrop Asyluma playing with a doom
like essence with a lingering beginning that climaxes into regular
state of harsh music framework. But another thing to mention is
the guitar composition with that song that creates a surrounding
of grind filled chords that strike even the listener to pay listening
heed to as the song leads into the dishing of Aeon In Ciders
for which is an ultimate song of oddity complete!
Most chilling track
of <CODE>’s Nouveau Gloaming
is the spellbinding Ghost Formula enticing with haunting
vocals softly spoken mixed with background dark whispered growls
along a steady pace of mysterious guitar chilling riffs in a hypnotic
state of abnormal infusion of paranormal attributes. Not bad if
you ask me, but nonetheless this innovative variation of musicians
ranging from the bands of DHG, Void, Ved Buens Ende and Ulver
blend well together creating a band of immense potential giving
this new record levels of musical awareness never accomplished
by any band that I have came across. Bewilderment, mesmerizing
and absorbing <CODE> is a true entity incarnate.
