This band plays a form of depressive black metal tainted with what I would qualify as a "Post-black" metal touch: take the raw yet melancholic sound of black metal from the likes of Lifelover or Ulvers' Bergtatt, blended with the ferocity and creative ambition of post-black metal acts. Taking the core feature of the black metal genre such as the blast beat, the grim tremolo picked riffs and the buzzing distorted guitar tones, Glaciation recontextualize such elements in order to craft a sound of their own. Now, 4 years after the release of their first full-length effort, Glaciation return with this sophomore effort, titled Sur les falaises de Marbre.
