Toward the Depths

Fantastic limited digipack reissue by Season of Mist, featuring completely new artwork, for “Toward the Depths”, the debut full-length album from Australian act Woods of Desolation, a torrent of desperate melodies and dense atmospheres that planted the seed of what this project would come to represent in the years to come. Simple yet profoundly sorrow-laden riffs guide every note of this record towards a sonic landscape that flows with hopelessness and raw beauty, combining repetitive tremolo lines and acoustic passages that broaden the emotional spectrum without losing an ounce of strength or honesty, shaping a sound that has gone on to inspire followers of modern depressive black metal. “Toward the Depths” is a journey from the coldest abyss to a lucid understanding of pain, essential for those seeking the origins of that faint light that would later fully bloom in subsequent works such as “Torn Beyond Reason”.
