Kaatarakt's Echoes of the Past is as close to my musical style as I ever found. It is epic, full of energy and beautiful melodies. No dull, filler riffs to make the songs longer.
This album is like a movie. When I listen to it, I can see the scenes in front of my eyes. Dramatic storytelling is something I'd like to achieve with my songs, too, although in less 'cinematic' take.
The pinnacle of atmospheric black metal. Gorgeous melodies, great lyrics, chilling atmosphere. Pure epicness. Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.
