As the first demo was entitled "Dream of Dark Hour" the second full album by Nightly Gale should have a subtitle "Nightmare of dark hour". Athmosphere of daydreams, sleepy wanderings in "slow motion" among desolate corners of the soul requires a lot of concentration, for the music is multi layered an multi threaded. The Musician's fascination on progressive rock music is obvious.
The album starts with a soft intro, both rhythm and melody seem "disrupted", they come nearer and soon become a voice from afar only, as it is in a dream/nightmare...

The very first guitar tune leaves no doubt that we have still to deal with doom metal here. It crushes formly with heaviness, the feeling of being sufficating is present all time, full of fear andinquietude.
