The End returns with a new offering, a 4 track album released in the month of August 2014.Made available for free download at the official bandcamp of the band, physical copy of this album entitled "White Lotus" will be available in vinyl format by Astral Gate Production and cd format by Cvlminis Production, for those who still believe in supporting the band, the true way.
Svartblod,the soul behind this monicker seems to be exploring deeper and deeper and this time the atmosphere have changed quite a lot unlike its first release "You Made The Rain Disappear".The level of ambience in "White Lotus" is just amazing and well incorporated with the song structure of each track that leaves me in a trance-like state to be honest.This might not be good for dedicated black metal listeners but for those who really can adapt to changes this good, it's a blessing for them.
As expected in this release,more post elements can be heard while the black metal elements have been minimized a little bit but it's still there lingering around between melancholic passage and that doesn't change the band's approach at all.This is somehow a positive progress for The End as nowadays black metal music is expanding rapidly and they've made it.The keyboard parts really made the entire album a promising musical journey as they didn't just complete the atmosphere but also rejuvenate the whole melody line within the songs.There's a lot of epilogues of clean vocals in this release, preserving The End's trademark and again it completes the flow of the songs and it's a hell of an effort.Svartblod's extreme depressive vocals keeps coming through in between the songs, especially during the fast parts of the structure reminds me of how pain and silence were meant to be together.My track of choice will be Across The Ocean,all day long.


Get in touch with The End right now and you shall never regret!!
