Mar de GrisesMar de Grises sounds like you would expect Barren Earth
Some of the songs tend to run together, but the atmosphere is incredible. It evokes images of standing on an endless beach, after sundown, and seeing no one else for miles in any direction. It's lonely as hell, and angry, but there's nobody to be angry at--so you just have to scream at the sky. And maybe just walk into the ocean and get sucked out with the riptide.
Highlights include opener "Starmaker" and the superbly interesting "Knotted Delirium". The latter makes clever use of piano, dissonance, and some NIN
The Verdict: Not quite as impressive as their last album, but still very good, Streams Inwards is worthwhile for fans of the Finnish bands mentioned above. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
