The Black Atlantic: Darkling, I Listen
The Black Atlantic is no stranger to the pages of the Frostclick blog, their previous record, Reverence for Fallen Trees, was featured here before.
Despite their rather melodic folk sound, they list metal bands like Slayer and Metallica as among their influences on their Facebook page.
Whether it's a tongue-in-cheek name drop or not, if you listened to Darkling, I Listen; it's hard to find these influences. They don't seem to need it though since the group is fully capable of mesmerizing their audience with their subdued indie folk ensembles.
