Info:

As "From the Dark" opens in a powerful array of gleaming, percussive chords that channel the sorrow and majesty of this band, you realize they've found it. But Silent Ruins is more of a successor to Bliss of Solitude than a usurper, living within the standard set by that prior piece. "Forlorn" plows forward with some arabesque melodies over crushing chords, one of the stronger tracks on this album, as the taciturn vocals recount tales of woe and helplessness. The descending melodies over the double bass in "Nightfall" give way to a great, slower paced thrashing doom rhythm. "Hollow Shrine" moves at another gothic crawl, with the vocals carrying the shifting chords and a graceful force to the bridge riff. The glistening acoustics of "Soulscarred" work wonders beneath the somber vocals as the track builds towards its lumbering momentum.
