Synopsis: Symphonic black metal is a hard style to pull off successfully as the metallic element is often forgotten in favour of creating an epic sound or, alternatively, the symphonic elements never quite manage to fulfill expectations. Thankfully, Advent Sorrow have managed to avoid such problems and have achieved a good balance between aggressive riffing, well orchestrated keyboard flourishes and a suitably dark aura. Overall, it is admirable what they have achieved on their debut release, one that reflects the better known proponents of the style but still retains some sense of individuality, and "Before The Dimming Light" demonstrates that symphonic black metal isn't necessarily without merit.
