Schattenfall is a new experienfe to me, avantgarde black metal is what we get with quite cool vocals and very atmospheric , calm , mid-paced music is what you get  served in a sorrowful package.
It's many emotions ,so it's hard to point out al of 'em but dramatic is for sure one of them.
I have to admit that it was good, but not above average. it1s simply too monotone overall for me even though the vocalist do a good job to change that.
If you like Schatten you should check it out, bur for me personally it gave me nothing special.

German Atmospheric Black Metaller's, SCHATTENFALL, are back with their 3rd release, Das Verderben (roughly translated, The Doom). The album is a wonderful continuation and progression from their stunning debut Schatten in Schwarz and follow up Melancholie des Seins. It seems as though there is a step up in every department on their lastest offering - everything dialed up a notch creating an even more unique and intoxicating atmosphere.

SCHATTENFALL are comprised of ex-members of White Ward, and while definite similarities can most definitely be heard, they take the music to a ever darker more expansive space. Fans of other "depressive / atmospheric" black metal ala Sun of the Sleepless, Secrets of the Moon, Geist, and Lunar Aurora should gush over this stunning release. I would dare to say that, intentionally or unintentionally, the band really were able to invoke quite a bit of the early "avant-garde" black metal bands, Ulver, Arcturus, and Ven Buens Ende as well, which for me was very exciting to hear.

SCHATTENFALL's debut album, Schatten in Schwarz, made a Metal Injection's writer pick for Top Metal Albums of 2018.
