Kekal - Embrace The Dead

What's the blackmetal-land no. 1? Well, that has to be Norway, but which land is no. 2? How about Indonesia? Indonesia is the home of a nice band called Kekal that plays atmospherical blackmetal and Embrace The Dead is their second full-lenght album. That it's brutal can't be denied or complained about, but the soundquality is not very good, mostly due to the fact that in many songs the bass is almost gone. The music otherwise and the lyrics are good, though. My absolute favourite is Longing For The Thruth, the first song. It's one of the most atmospherical songs and has got slightly better sound than the other ones too. In The Final Call, From Within and Scripture Before Struggle they have succeeded with the atmosphere perfectly again and made more good songs. By the way, Kekal has got female vocals too and it sounds great between the screams. Blackmetalheads, give this a shot if you aren't very strict about production!
