...And Oceans - 'The dynamic gallery of thoughts' - By C. Diamantis
�And Oceans are a band from Finland and, as is the usual thing for a Scandinavian band, they chose to follow the path of black metal. They can be placed in the same category as bands like Dimmu Borgir or Old Man�s Child. That means that their music is mostly mid-tempo with a lot of keyboards and atmospheric moments. This album has its moments, especially when the band decides to leave out those overly �symphonic� keyboards, but unfortunately the band doesn�t appear to have the talent of other more experienced bands of the genre. They manage to produce an above-average result, but it�s really nothing that hasn�t be heard before. Maybe if the use of keyboards in this album was a little less extensive, the result would be quite better. If you are a fan of what is called melodic or atmospheric black metal, then this album will be quite a good choice. For everyone else who wants a taste of the genre, it might be better if you tried something else. In this album �And Oceans seem to do their best but somehow can�t fulfill the expectations.
