Circle Of Ouroborus - Maailma Kohoaa Ja Uppoaaaa

Review by David Gibson

Circle of Ouroborus is a Finnish black metal band known for their unique blend of atmospheric and melodic elements. Their latest album, Maailma Kohoaa Ja Uppoaaaa, is a haunting journey through dark soundscapes and introspective themes.

The album begins with "Maa Ja Kuu," a slow-burning track that sets the mood for the rest of the album. The atmospheric guitars and haunting vocals create a sense of unease that permeates throughout the album. "Vesi Virtaa Veressä" is a standout track, with its driving drums and catchy guitar riffs. The chorus is particularly memorable, with its haunting melody and powerful vocals.

The album is full of contrasts, with moments of intense aggression followed by moments of introspection and reflection. "Puhdistus" is a perfect example of this, with its crushing guitars and pounding drums giving way to a quiet, contemplative section in the middle of the song.

The band's ability to blend different elements of black metal and create a cohesive, haunting atmosphere is truly impressive.
