Reflecting in darkness, the atmosphere was thick,
The silence overwhelms the tension,
A visitor arrives to see Dupin, and presents his case,
A simple mystery, a puzzle to be solved,
That still requires diplomacy,
A Royal document that's unaccounted for,
And simply must be found
The power of the letter, is only known to few,
The minister attracts suspicion,
Concealment in the holy quarters,
Is the most probable possibility
Tear this room apart, leave no stone unturned,
Check all the drawers, rip up the floor boards,
The cabinets, the chairs, the curtains,
Examined under microscope,
Then search the hotel grounds,
Take it brick by brick,
The letter must be found, it must be there,
I come to you despondant, and offer a reward,
To make a re-examination
Wind blasted melodic black metal from the fields of Ukraine. The production is raw and gritty and the performance is aggressive. The additional acoustic guitar passage give some room to breath. Another solid release. 7/10 RJ
