REVIEWS:
On
Through Eyes of Night, Fog have very effectively blended various styles of
Black Metal into a very commanding, very convincing style all their own.
They change tempos with total ease, and never cease to keep it
interesting. That doesn't go to say that are anything you haven't heard
before, however there are few that can take this many aspects of it and do
something fresh with an old sound. The production is clear, but not
overproduced. This is a highly suggested album for those looking for some
truly high quality Black Metal from the United States. Nothing new, but
still a great album none the less. (Erus Inferi)
Overall Rating: 8.5
Fog, these Americans at least do come across as more
individual than either of their Polish labelmates. The elemental storm
that Satan summoned so that Fog could enter "In Magnificent Glory" was
somewhat too strong for Fog's own good, however, as their instrumental
attack sounds quite weak immediately after the loud thunderous sounds of
the intro. Nevertheless, the production does have its charms, as it
highlights the interesting cymbal work and the bass lines (Ulver,
anyone?). On the other hand, the fact that the instruments sound quite
separated from each other causes a slight overload of the left channels in
your stereo -- noticeable if you are using headphones. Still, Fog's
mixture of Norwegian rawness and grim, icy melodies is very effective and
musically involved, producing a very satisfactory result. Their black
metal is entirely guitar-driven, backed by swift percussion and the
aforementioned prominent cymbal work, and with some passable black rasps
on top. Fog achieve quite consistent atmosphere and a pleasant moroseness
in their music whilst still keeping it mostly fast, and they do so
especially well during the eight and a half minute long title track. The
rest of the album fully justifies its 8 out of 10 rating, but the title
track does suggest it could have been even higher. The poorly balanced
stereo may get on your nerves a bit if you insist on using headphones, but
that should not deter you from seeking this record -- even in spite of the
further annoyance of the penultimate track being recorded at a lower
volume than the rest. (Maybe they also had problems with the duration of
Satan's possession of their souls, like Hate seem to have had. Why Fog
have decided to present us with over nine minutes of elemental stormy
sounds at the end of this hour long record, however, is something I don't
think even Satan himself fully comprehends -- it tends to get really old
really fast after a minute or two, in my opinion.
