My Comment
In Vain come with 2nd album bringing a clear progressive black death.
"Captivating Solitude" start in dark sorrow mode. Slow rythm with high pitch scream c/w clean vocal. Guitar riff not very technical but have many variation effect,skill and melodical solo (progressive influence). "Aint No Lovin" are in heavy riff, double pedal and death+black mix vocal. In Vain have long song yet complex whereby u can listen to some classical element,acoustical and clean sound is added. Every layer is changing and making it elaborating like flowing in the wind. In Vain tries to various their rythm in every track leaving plain and same concept to all track. There known what going to reach in this album. My Fav track is "Sombre Fall, Burdened Winter". It remind me to something yet i still dont know what it is. haha..
Well Good luck to In Vain
Salute !!!!
