2005 re-released by Candlelight w/ a second disc featuring the "Thematic Emanation of Archetypal Multiplicity" EP "The Work Which Transforms God is essentially an adventure in atmosphere, texture, and sound. Blut Aus Nord uses black metal as their canvas, and they've chosen to paint with several shades of the darkest black. Their use of keyboards is on par with the music composed in the early 90's Norwegian scene. Keyboards simply add texture and atmosphere. They DO NOT drive the song. Blut Aus Nord has chosen to use drum programming instead of a real drummer. Excellent choice! I've NEVER heard a more proper use of the drum machine. The resulting cold precision adds magnificently to the overall ambience of this album. Furthermore, Blut Aus Nord has managed to use a drum machine at slow tempos, without sounding like crap." - Ultimate Metal |
