Mystfall formed in Greece to blast out gigantic symphonic metal. The band returns with their second full-length album, "Embers Of A Dying World". Marialena Trikoglou handles the soprano vocals, joined by Aris Baris on guitar, Stelios Vrotsakis on bass and vocals, and Dimitris Miglis on drums. The quartet constructs huge cinematic soundscapes layered over crushing metal instrumentation.

"Embers Of A Dying World" paints a bleak picture of a totally ruined planet. The songs plunge into an alternate dimension where nightmares rip into human survival. The lyrics drag the listener through the brutal aftermath of humanity wrecking the earth. The album asks if any organic life will survive the apocalypse we unleashed.

The music balances extreme orchestral madness and shredding guitars. Aris Baris lays down destructive riffs under the operatic singing. Dimitris Miglis and Stelios Vrotsakis hammer out a steady, thunderous rhythm section throughout the entire playtime. Producer Dionisis Christodoulatos ensures the mix sounds huge and punishing at CFN Recordings Studios.

The stunning cover art by Giannis Nakos visualizes the ruined world perfectly. Symphonic metal requires epic scope, and Mystfall delivers huge scale. The Greek quartet executes their dark vision with total aggression. Fans of huge choirs and heavy riffs will completely devour "Embers Of A Dying World". This second album rules.

Score: 8.0
